What happens when you die

I've been thinking about death a lot lately. My parents are both older and I've been struggling with my own health problems and last night I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about it. I don't scare easily but the idea of death scares me.

  • Whilst I'm not really one for religion, it gives me comfort to think that maybe there is something better waiting for us after we die. That although we have ceased to exist in this world, there is another world where we are reunited with dearly departed friends and loved ones, which equips us with an ability to keep an eye on those we may have left behind in this world.

    Since my dad died a few years ago, I sometimes like to think of him being in some other-worldly country pub, socialising with friends and relatives that have left this world. At other times, I like to think of him enjoying a stroll along some other-worldly beach, or partaking in other activities that brought him pleasure in this world.

    It happens less often now, but occasionally I get a sense that he's here, which I find incredibly calming.
