What happens after death?

[ignoramus]

It's devastating, I know... To think that the universe will go on when I'm gone! How is this even possible!

When did this thread became your thread, it isn't about you.
I'll give you an example.
If your child doesn't like learning math , you can't force him to like it you easy his way in math, with slow steps and a smooth aproach.

hehehe ...nah, I speak for all theist's subconscious.
Isn't this really what this is about? Fragile egos?
Or do they also need years to come to term with this realisation...?

Special snowflake syndrome.
psychology101 ...even an ignoramus knows it.

Of course they don't want to come to terms because of the ego. But you can't say fuck you ego I don't care what you want , you need to make yourself understand. If the perception isn't rationalized the ego won't accept it.

And the amount of time necesary depends on how deep are the root of the ideea into your subconscious.

I recommend that we wait until the patient is ready to be well, and in the meantime encourage them to engage in counterproductive fantasy.

To be fair, Not was trying to offer the poster what he asked for .. not suspecting the OP was an apologist missionary fishing for converts.

Hello,

I'm going through therapy to help me cope with my thanatophobia (fear of death). I'm terrified of hospitals, doctors, sharp things, guns, gore. I'm constantly living in fear. I'm in sophomore high, and I'm taking a Health II class. I live with 3 smokers that smoke in the house, and now I'm afraid to get lung cancer because a book told me I could. The likelihood is really low because I avoid the smoke, but I can't help it. People tell me to believe in that God will be there for me, and everything will be okay. There's a part of me that is so terrified of this idea of the 'void,' and the so-called 'nothingness,' that it's tearing me apart and I don't know what to do about it.

I want to believe in life after death, but there's no evidence. I want to believe in heaven, but there's no evidence. Maybe I just need someone to talk to. I'm new to this forum, and a friend would be really great right now. 

Thank you!

After you die, you become an ex-parrot. That is the beginning and end of it.

I lied, after you die you start pining for the fjords.

You can take solace in the fact death will cure your fear of death!  As someone who also is very anti-dying, I don't think there's a way around it.  In your mind exists a future in which you exist.  Death takes away that future and replaces it with nothingness.  It's scary and sad.  But it's also inevitable.  Enjoy life while you can, and cross your fingers maybe you'll get a good 80 years.   

I think acceptance and trying not to dwell on it are as good as it gets.  Maybe an air purifier in your room?  Do those work on smoke?
