Your opinion - what happens when you die?

[TinkerSailerSoldierSpy]

I'm curious. What do you lot think? I'm actually terrified that there's just nothing. I hope not, need reassurance!

Playing devil's advocate here but to the person (as desperate to believe) but if NDE's were nature's way of making death easier to cope with and triggeredby a dying brain how can those people who experience them come back to tell the tale? Does the brain suddenly stop dying?

• but to the person who suggested that NDEs

There have been NDE's where the person was able to describe the medical staff's actions as seen from above. Also their own bodies being worked on.

I have no problem with there being nothing. I'll not exactly have the neural function to care about it.

Im a great believer there is more after. I lost my mum 3 weeks ago suddenly and it kills me and i miss her so much, I see orbs and also have smelt my mums perfume. Also my friend is a medium and she said my mum was fine and with my grand parents and also her mum who she lost when she was younger.

I have also had random white fluffy feathers appear places. I wish to god though i could hear and see her now though. :(

question about spiritualist church..how can you stop anything bad coming through is it only your relatives?

I read a book that was built on a premis (I think by some eskimos) that you don't completely die immeditaely, you go to some sort of waiting place and only go to your final place after everyone who remebers you is no longer alive.

So while you are waiting people you remember are there, and others arrive, and then some people pass on to the final place.

I thought it was an interesting idea

after reading this thread a week or so ago I commented on my facebook that I didn't really understand why people needed there to be something after death. A friend messaged me telling me her mother had recently died and that it helped to think they would meet again some day. She also suggested that maybe I hadn't had this kind of loss myself.

Well, I have. I lost my dad very suddenly more than ten years ago and I was heartbroken for a long time. However I really didn't need there to be something or some chance of me meeting him again. He died, I was so upset but also I knew it was the natural order of things even though he was too young to die. Perhaps the difference is that I was always raised to know that after death there is nothing. I wasn't told that people go to heaven or that their soul remains. I might have been told a bit about nutrients going back into the ground and so on but never that I would meet the dead in another life.
