I think we get to feel how our choices in life made everyone we effected feel, we feel it and we learn from it. Then the spark of life that animated us rejoins the life source.
Another vote for absolutely nothing.
Nothing, we just die like other animals.
I used to believe in reincarnation but after going through a traumatic birth and being KO’ed with nitrous oxide, my guess is also ✨nothing✨
We go back to being one with everything
Quantum immortality
Our husbands remarry in 3 months
The ones who love us will miss us
I liked Alan Watts’ idea. What would it be like to go to sleep and never wake? most people think its being surrounded by darkness in a hole in the ground. but it wouldn’t be. after a while of thinking about this you are typically lead to the realization that it’s the same as waking up having not gone to sleep. when we die, the godhead removes its mask, takes a break, and then “wakes” as a new experience.

I’ve always leant towards reincarnation.
Well, after I die I’ll get carved up like a side of beef in a gross anatomy class at a med school. Then my remains will be burned and I’ll end up sitting in a urn in a box somewhere or on my kid’s mantle or something I guess. I’ll never know because I’ll be dead.
As Keanu Reeves once famously said, “when we die, the ones who love you will miss you.”
Everyone close to you fights for your stuff
I’m kind of working on my own religion with this stuff. You know how they say we’re made of stardust and that energy cannot be created or destroyed? Well all the matter that is in us like all the cells, they die and are replaced with new cells from the food we eat. And the cells that die and drop off of us are consumed by critters in the environment to become the building blocks of matter for them. Even to the point where all the cells that were you as a baby have long been replaced by completely different cells that will continue to be replaced as you go one.
So when you die, that energy and matter that was you will continue on to become new creatures and continue on the legacy. You technically are immortal but just continuously changing forms and becoming parts of a whole diverse network of different creatures.
But on top of that, once you’re on the timeline, you’re always on the timeline. When we look out into space to see stars that are billions of lightyears away, we see what they looked like billions of years ago. If you were to get up to the speed of light, you’d be able to see earth as it was just a few hundred years ago, or even billions of years ago. What was on the timeline back then is still there. So again, you are immortal. You will always exist as the matter and cells of other creatures, or just from the timeline era that you live on now. You’ll always be around….
We become part of the earth
We become manure
I think it will be like what life was like in the billions of years before I was born, it will continue but I won’t be aware of it, my consciousness will no longer exist.
Nothing.
All of the same stuff that is currently happening, only you won’t be there. And presumably your close friends and family will be sadder for a while, and there’s all that fuss to be made about how to divvy up your belongings…but then the world spins on.
Depending on how your remains are treated, what makes you physically “you” will either be stuck in the ground for a while – not permanently, mind you – or burnt and possibly scattered, or maybe even “planted” to become part of a tree or something. Over time your molecules will be broken apart and reused elsewhere.
What makes you “you” *beyond* the physical consists simply of people’s memories of you and whatever ripple effects you started during life. Those may continue on for a while, but will eventually taper off and disappear. Like every other living thing that came and went before you, your impact will fade. And that’s OK. And kind of beautiful, really.
Life is a party and we only get to join for a little while. It started before we got there and goes on after we leave it. That’s it.
Our energy/essence/soul/whatever you wanna call it becomes part of some kind of universal energetic force
I dunno. Maybe we get to chill with our ancestors and be infinite.
Black screen and that’s it
You wake up from the matrix
Same as before you were born
I got really into patients and doctors stories about near death experiences and there is definitely a common theme/pattern…
Also since no one has mentioned this yet I should throw out the ‘law of conservation of energy.’ (Law, not theory). So anyone saying nothing happens is incorrect. Energy cannot be destroyed it just transfers to something else, much like how water changes from liquid to solid to vapor etc. if anyone knows more or can explain this better please do. I’m not a scientist
Nothing.
When we die? The same thing happens to us that happens to every living thing eventually- animal or plant. We end our life cycle and the atoms that made us go back into the universe to be redistributed endlessly into other forms. But in order not to mourn myself and get sad, I like to picture a garden, with a lake and a bench and ducks. Sometimes I’m there alone, peaceful, for eternity. Sometimes there’s other people I’ve known and loved on the bench with me.
I am Christian so I believe in the afterlife and that when I die, I will go to heaven and spend the rest of my days with my heavenly Father.
Nothing. When we die we are dead.
We’ll go on the greatest adventure. No one came back and told me otherwise
The world continues on without us.
The physical you is gone but the inner spirit/soul you continues on in another place in this vast universe
I’m Anishnaabe and I believe we go to the spirit world. I think I’ve actually visited a few times in dreams. I was missing my Mother very much and in my dream I found her in a house with her Mother and my late dog Sandy. They were all peacefully snoozing.
One of the saddest dreams I had was a few months after my cousin was killed. I waited and waited for him to show up and tell me he was okay. Finally, one night he did. We were at a duty free at a border crossing and shopping for him to go on a trip. We sat at a picnic table and talked a while. Then I knew it was time for him to cross the border. I watched him walk over into pure warm light. I couldn’t see what it was. I figured that when it’s my time to know what’s there is because I’ll be the one walking there.
One thing about us is that we never force our beliefs on anyone else. I have just experienced too much to be discounted by myself personally.
You’re gone when the last story about you is told.
My body will picked clean for donor organs, then the rest of my carcass will go to a medical school for disection in an anatomy class. What’s left will be cremated and dumped in the San Francisco Bay. But I won’t know what’s going on because I’ll be dead. My consciousness will have ceased to exist.
