what do you think happens after one dies?

If you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is your Savior, then you go to heaven.  If you don't, then you go to hell.\n\nIt's just that simple, and sad for those that don't believe.

when you die...or about 1 month after you die....or when they run out of cash, whichever comes first.

Are you seriously expecting that there are people here in Yahoo Answers (or here on Planet Earth for that matter) who KNOW what happens after death? No one knows what happens after you die. People who pretend to know are either charlatans or fools.

Agree...Can you tell me what happens to peoples energy when they die?

No one can answer that question.  It is all about belief and faith and what your heart tells you.  \n\nEven people who say that they died and came back could be argued as having some psychological effect from stopping breathing.  \n\nI would advise that you imagine life after death to be what you want.  I do.  I imagine my family all sitting around playing cards, scrabble with a nice bottle of red wine.

I really believe we go to heaven.  \n\nMy grandmother passed away when my mother was only four years old.  Just recently my mother passed away.  One week before my mother passed away she would have dreams and she would speak to her mother in her sleep.  I really believe there is a better place after we pass on.  A place where your sickness is completely gone and you are young and beautiful.

Your heart stops beating.  Your synapses slow their firing until you are brain dead and no electrical current is flowing through the nervous system.  Your body will generally expel any waste matter (air, urine, feces) being held.  Sometime around this time, you will either discover that there is an afterlife of some sort, or you will blink into nothingness, with absolutely no consciousness to be aware of the fact that there is no afterlife.  The body will begin the approach to rigor mortise.  And bacteria will begin decomposing the body.  Years and years later, only ash (and perhaps fossilized bones) will be left of your body.  If there is an afterlife, you will never be able to tell anyone.  If there isn't, you will never be able to tell anyone.  Those who say they know the truth about the afterlife, either way, are not intellectually honest.  Which is why this question will continue to evoke philosophical debate ad infinitum.

According 2 the Islamic teachings there 'll be a life after death & it 's & 'll be just like the life of this world except that it's an enduring life.Life afer death starts 4 everyone after their buriels 've been completed & people buring them vanish away from the grave.It starts 4 evereyone as they 'll be treated according 2 their actions/deeds & when the day of gudgement comes our actions or deeds 'll decide our destiny.Coz there 'll be only 2 paths 4 the people.Those pleased with God the Almighty 'll be rewarded 4 their good deeds with Jannats/paradise/green gardens full of life.With no sickness or growing old, while those unpleased with God 'll go 2 Jahannam/Hellfire.May the Good Lord guide & save us all from it.

It all depends on the way you think and your opinions/religion. Maybe, you do go to Heaven, and continue life there. Maybe, you come back into life as a different creature. Maybe, the thoughts and soul become non-existent.\nNobody knows the answer to this question because after a person "kicks the bucket" they cannot communicate with us again (or so it is thought...?) So the living will probably never know.

depends on who you ask,,,\nsome believe we are reincarnated and comes back as a animal or another person.\nsome believe your soul goes to heaven or hell and your body rots and turns to dust.\nand some believe that's just it,,, you die and rot in the dirt.

when our physical self dies, the soul leaves and escapes into the universe, it lingers nearby its family till the time it feels that all is going on well after its departure from the body of the deceased, then it awaits its return in the form of a new born near GOD, where it is judged for its past karma and based upon it assigned a new body to come back to the world and spread the glory of GOD.

Depends on who you talk to. Honestly I dont think anyone knows. People say heaven and hell but not one person can prove what happens after you die, I dont care WHO they are!

Someday, like everyone else, your life on Earth will end and your physical body will die. But your spirit will not die. At the time of physical death, your spirit will go to the spirit world, where you will continue to learn and progress. After we are resurrected we will be judged and rewarded for the things we have done in this life. \nJesus Christ taught His Apostles that in His Father’s house are “many mansions” (John 14:2). Our loving Heavenly Father is anxious to reward all of His children according to their obedience to His commandments and their willingness to follow the Savior. \nThose who do these things and are worthy to return to the presence of God and Christ become “heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ” (Romans 8:17) of all that the Father has. They will return to live with Heavenly Father and with their families in His eternal glory. \nThose who choose not to follow our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will receive a reward according to what they have done in this life, but they will not enjoy the glory of living in the presence of God.

When one dies , he/she will have no feeling. I remember one evening when I was watching television. I found that the sound from the TV became weaker and weaker.The room became quieter and quieter. Even if someone dropped a needle I could hear it clearly.Just  then I told my mom that I heard nothing. Then I fainted and when I woke up I couldn't move. It seemed  as if I were  a dead person. I couldn't get up or raise up my hand  because it was as heavy as hundred kg.  That accident let me experience the moment of death. It was not terrible at all. It was quite smooth as the whole world became so quiet ...quiet until I  heard nothing. No feeling at tall . So death is not terrible nor painful. After I fainted I had no feeling at all.Therefore I think people will not have feeling after they died.
