      No one can ever really know the answer to this question, and it all depends on your beliefs, your faith, your culture and what makes you happiest. Science, of course, would say that all of the atoms that make up you and your body are recycled into all sorts of other things after your death. That might seem un-spiritual, but I actually quite like that idea, because in a way it means you can never die. Your atoms just get turned into other things.

      The answer to that is the same as what happened before the Big Bang. We don’t know! That’s where beliefs and religion come into it. A very sensitive topic so I won’t go into it much. Certainly it makes one feel better if one believes that we go to heaven rather than utter nothingness, but the truth is we cannot know for sure. My own opinion is that its like falling asleep, you’re not aware of it!
