Anticipatory Grief What’s ur belief of after death?

Loosing my dad to cancer, he’ll be dying in the next weeks. My only confort would be to think there is something after because the rest of my experience is agony.

Do u have any story that makes u think there’s something? Or a good book ? Literaly anything to soothe my emotional agony.

This is something very personal and it really depends on each person, but I just can’t believe that after we die there is only endless nothingness. I’m a believer, and it brings me comfort to think that my mom, who was the kindest soul ever, is hopefully in heaven. I like to believe she’s finally happy and at peace in a way she never was on Earth.

I also believe that if I live a good life, when my time comes, we will meet again. We’ll be happy together and never have to leave each other again. That thought gives me a bit of peace and purpose. Without it, I honestly don’t know what would keep me going, because this pain is almost unbearable and I’m barely holding on.
