Has anyone figured out what happens when we die? Seriously?

[quote:Ellenjay:MV8zNDIxNTMzXzYwOTk5MDgzX0ZDQUY0MzE=] Everyone dies. I have received the "Sorrowful look and a prescription for Morphine" diagnosis, so at least I know it won't be too long for me. This is a simple fact. I see no sense in moaning, weeping or being a Drama Queen about receiving notice of the coming of the inevitable. My reaction is to simply carry on as usual. I find the idea of dashing about in a frantic attempt to complete a "Bucket List" would be more an act of desperation and terribly depressing. I find more comfort in recalling all the wondrous things I have experienced, mixed with a touch of sadness over the times I could have acted as a better person. Regardless of any replies you may receive from GLP'ers on this forum, any expectations (not based on long time faith) would, I feel, result only in anxiety and stress. Today you are alive, concentrate on how to handle that as best you can, and if you can achieve perfection in that endeavour, then you can start worrying how to handle when you have no today. [i]I do take comfort in the fact that being dead can't be too bad as I have had quite a few friends die. Some of them were real whinging bastards who always had something to moan about, and I haven't heard a complaint from a single one of them yet.[/i] [/quote]

Long story short....
I just need to know if there is ANYTHING to look forward to once you die...
This life has really fucked me over hardcore, and my heart is not long until it gives out due to the stress i've dealt with nonstop for almost 40 years.
Honestly.. even if "the lights go out" and that's that.. is acceptable at this point... I've gone through so much bullshit with my ex constantly causing me drama over our kids for the past 18 years, that I just can't physically or mentally take this crap anymore!
When my father died back in 2002, at age 48, the morning after my birthday no less, my mother went to see a "psychic" shortly afterwards with his sister (my aunt) and they purposely told the lady nothing at all regarding any details that could clue her in... and yet somehow.. she knew that my fathers truck tire was flat for the past week... which is a completely random thing to "get as a message from the other side"... Because of THAT though, I felt that somehow, our "conscience/soul/energy" continues on after death in some way, shape or form.. at least for some sort of time frame.
So seriously.... does ANYONE honestly KNOW what happens once our body shuts down? (aside from that DMT brain activity part people talk about)
I guess I just need some peace of mind... who wouldn't?
SO give it to me straight.... do we just completely cease to exist ... or do we go to "heaven".... or reincarnate.. or just live on a different plane/dimension??
