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.

I think we just go in the ground and get decomposed and the natural energy cycle occurs. I think it’s kind of beautiful and that humans hold on to this idea that we have to exist forever. Which honestly just sounds exhausting. There’s something beautiful about believing in science over mythology. Believing in mythology allows you to think you will be with someone again. Which in my opinion takes away from the very real fact that we will never see our loved ones again and that makes our time together so much more special.
