Just Wondering: What do you think will happen when YOU die?

The answer is obvious. You will be reborn in another body (of whatever species). And if you're lucky enough to become a chick the next lifetime, you won't know to enjoy what you were missing when you were a guy. Sux eh? 🙂
 
maybe the same for everyone else here, but i believe that by the time that it is time for me to check out of here (whenever that maybe only one person knows for sure) I will have done more good than bad with my life.
Hopefully, I will have repented whole heartedly for the things i have done (i have done some really fvcked up sh!t) and the Lord sees it fit to welcome me home.
 
I dont know what I think, I know what I'd like to believe though, I hope that when I do die I'll be in some heaven-like place, meeting my soulmate from this earth (assuming his death suceeds my own) or waiting for him, and that in the place, and with him, in whatever form he and I end up, that we are together and happy, pure uninterrupted happiness for the rest of forever, in whatever ways will give us that.
 
I believe, I'll be gone. Like eternal sleep.

Speaking of slepe, I could probably use some rightnow, just NOT eternally quite yet.

Im hoping its a transition to either an afterlife, or to be reborn. It would just suck if there was nothing.

that would have to be the understatement of the year.
 
When I die, I suspect the unique combination of bio-chemical-electrical reactions in my brain will cease, as will I...

Working in ICU/ER I've seen hundreds of people expire, only conclusion I can share is that folks that have a faith-based belief system seem to go a lot more easily (quickly, less mess, less agony), and the folks that have been mean to their families seem to hang on forever, maybe they hang around longer to be more controlling?

The one thing about death in the hospital that makes me crazy is when the residents discuss DNR (no shock, no chemical code), patients assume that the recessitation process will cure their underlying pathology, ie: cancer, etc, and the residents aren't specific enough to exclude that from the patient's reasoning process. If there's time, I talk to them first & carefully explain what DNR (Do not Recesitate) really means.

I'm being recertified in ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) for the umpteenth time next month, and calling a code @ the end of a person's life is like putting them into a car & ramming it into a wall, it's very invasive & traumatic & I hope the patients aren't aware of what we're doing to them during the last moments of their life.
 
Just like when I sleep, absolutely nada. Just a big ole darkness, that I won't be able to even know about.
 
My spirit will leave my body. My personality and intelligence will remain intact. If I've lead a good life I'll make the hyper space jump through the tunnel of light come out on the other side meet family and friends that have died before me, be judged by my own memory of my life. I hope that I get a good review and remain there to serve God.

... including me. Thankfully, on Christ's merits alone, i will finally be free.

Pay up please. According to my beliefs, there is no afterlife. Everyone goes to hell, which is not the burning pit of despair that was first described in Dante's Inferno, but merely the earth itself, the common grave of mankind. Once there, a person, who is a complete soul, ceases to exist.

There is something more (NOT afterlife), but I don't really want to get into it now.
 
The tent of this biological mass will dissolve back into the inanimate elements from which it came and I will go to the place of waiting appointed for me until I receive a permanent dwelling not made through the glove of natural processes.
It is appointed unto all once to die and then to face the judgement
Hebrews 9:27

It was in order for bodies such as His own that the Word Himself also assumed a body. For as the children are sharers in flesh and blood, He also in like manner partook of the same . . . so that he might deliver them who all their lives long. . . were subject to bondage.
The Incarnation of the Word of God, 10.4, 318 AD

For he was made man that we might be made divine, and He manifested Himself in a body that we might receive the idea of the unseen Father; and He endured the insolence of men that we might inherit immortality. For while He Himself was in no way injured, being impassible and incorruptible and very Word and God, yet mankind was suffering. Therefore for our sakes He endured all of this, so that we might be preserved and maintained in His own impassibility.
The Incarnation of the Word of God, 50.3
