the whole situation is difficult... I'm not sure what I would do, but you are lying when you're telling someone you think there is an afterlife and don't believe it. Perhaps I agree with Tiberius in the sense that you could still say 'I HOPE there is an afterlife and you'll meet with your loved one again' I wonder if I'll get the change to try every different scenario and see how they turn out.
'She's hopefully in a better place now' (can be interpreted by a theist as 'maybe she in hell' [not knowing you don't believe in the afterlife])
'She's definitely in hell given that according to certain verses in the Bible so few go to heaven'
'I'm an atheist, I believe that death is a termination of consciousness. I hope she died at ease though.'
note: atheists may believe in the afterlife. just because you're an atheist, doesn't mean you don't believe in an afterlife, though atheists usually don't believe in the afterlife. I'm just questioning choice of words here, i'm not trying to say that you believe in the afterlife and just don't know it.
