Happy Easter! What happens when we die??

I agree Joe. I really in all honesty don't have a clue what happens when we die. I do know my dad died on a Friday night after getting off work never enjoying a retirement. Makes no sense to me. I don't count on great things in an afterlife, don't really think there is one. If a chicken doesn't get heaven, then why as a creature on this earth do I deserve any better? So I just decided I would live my life and enjoy it. That is just me. Everyone has their belief, and that is mine.

My dad died the same way. 59 years old of lung cancer. he was always concerned he wouldn't get to enjoy his retirement, and he didn't. In my dad's case, however, it was due to lifestyle choices. Dad was a 40-year 2-3 pack a day smoker who considered himself immortal. Turned out that wasn't the case. Regardless, I miss him still.

I just try to take each day in its turn, for better or worse, and try not to cling to anything. I do believe our afterlife (or next life) is strongly determined by the choices we make here, though I do not believe in heaven or hell.
