I also think about this a lot. I have read a few books on this topic that were very interesting and enlightening to me. I guess we can only know for sure the moment after our bodies die, but the wonder of the unknown does fill my mind and heart with hope and sometimes fear. I choose to believe that there is life after death, and that life is good. Helps me to cope with the truth that one day I will probably be faced with that reality of death. If there is negativity after death, or something I do not expect, I can at least live on in this life with the peace that my faith in a good life after death brings me. Simple and true. Hope you feel better about this subject my friend!
