Do you believe in an Afterlife/Reincarnation?

If so, does this afterlife require some kind of religious affiliation? Most of us love the idea of being reunited with loved ones in some wonderful other plane of existence. The few atheists that even bother addressing this question will say there is nothing beyond clinical death. That it's simply over. What is your opinion?

I honestly don’t know, D. I know what I [b]wish[/b] were so—the idea that when the people we love go they’re gone forever with no possibilities of reunion breaks my heart on a fundamental level. 😞

@bijouxbroussard Agreed. I just wish more non-religious people were sharing NDE's that describe an afterlife.

@bijouxbroussard I'm confident you will be reunited with your loved ones, and so much more. I never used to believe this until I researched it.

This is only one of the [i]numerous [/i]materials on the subject.

@PhoenixPhail Thanks for a great contribution. Having spent many years with the terminally ill, I've seen so many of the dying reaching out to a long -dead relative talking to them and "seeing" them. They often have very happy facial expressions.

@Grateful4you Oh, you're quite welcome. I enjoy sharing these materials. I find the ones containing hospice-nurse accounts of what they've observed in their patients to be very compelling, and consoling.
