I'm having a real hard time accepting the "possibility" (I say possibility because no one knows for sure), that we all end up as a rotten piece of meat in a coffin. When I reflect on the people I know or have known when blood was coursing through their veins, yes, I have an extremely difficult time knowing the significance of their life only to have it end with grand finality at the coffin (and slowly decaying...just stating the realities of life). Literally pushing up daisies...a return to the biomass.
No disrespect intended but you can't know for sure there is no divine force...that's tantamount to the Christian, for example, who believes without a doubt in the divinity of Christ.
Maybe I should get on some OCD medicine? Seriously, this a real problem for me.

I don't believe there is anything after this. We exist and then we don't.
I think you are entitled to believe what you want. Some people feel connected to religion and an eternity in heaven, some people cannot stomach the idea.
I wish you luck in resolving this conflict.
