What happen's when we die, describe it.?

Question

What happens to our memories or our soul?

Answer 1

just as in life... different things happen to different people, to some extent depending on where we have come from and what we expect and deserve. but not entirely... death is always a surprise!

Answer 2

Since I'm still alive (and hope to remain so for many more years) I can only provide a guess as to what I think will happen, or rather, my hopes as to what happens.

Yes, the physical body - flesh, bones, etc - decomposes. Unless you happen to be preserved like Lenin was, but what's the point? The "soul", or that which is us, our conscience, is another matter.

I think that what happens afterward is up to us. I don't know if there's a heaven, but perhaps there's a place for us to "rest", to just exist and not worry about anything. If your choice is to do that, and you have the choice (more on that later), that's what happens. But what if you don't want to hang out, and want to check back into life? The world goes on, after all, so why shouldn't you? Then, if you have the choice, you can decide to come back to earth, i.e. reincarnate. So then your life starts anew, as a new person, a new baby, and there you are.

Well, what about "hell" then? People who commit crimes in their lifetime, crimes that are so horrible that they cannot possibly be left unforgiven. Well then, after their death, they do not have a choice. They must return to the world and suffer. You know those people who live by the "why is it always me?" principle? Perhaps they are the ones. The ones that were criminals in the past, and must now live the consequences. Is one lifetime enough to reform them? Mostly, I would think yes. Sometimes, perhaps not.

But I'm still working on that theory. Because from the perspective of a psychologist, no child is born a criminal. Only circumstances force him into becoming one. So, if that were the case, then would those people not be the most unfortunate ones? Hmm. Maybe they're not given a choice as to coming back to life. Maybe it varies.

Then questions still remain. Who gives out and withholds the choices? Is it God? Or does that just happen automatically, and the conscience is actually responsible for it? Maybe those who die after leading a life of crime simply don't have the strength to choose.

Well, those are my thoughts on the matter. I guess we won't find out until we actually die.

Ecclesiastes 4:2
And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive.

John 5:25
I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.

Mark 12:25
When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

Revelation 20:12
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.


Revelation 19:9
Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' " And he added, "These are the true words of God."

Answer 4

I have wondered about this, especially here lately. I understand what happens to your body but, I'm not too sure what happens to the person you were (your soul) I often wonder, where do you go? I mean we learn, love and live and then its all over. I can't believe that. I sometimes think we have all died in a previous life and when this life is over we will live another one. sounds weird I know but, no one will ever know because no one has ever come back.

Answer 5

The deceased body will be decomposed by micro-organisms and various insects that feasts upon protein, lipid, and other parts, the speed of this decomposition process wholly depends on the location and the climate the corpse is situated at (hot, cold, humid, dry, etc).

Typically the deceased will be on the process of autopsy, a medical process in which to investigate the cause of death, the condition of the body, and an essential process to reconstitute the body to make it presentable/safe for anyone wishing to seeing the body.

Additionally, when one dies, the subject
-breathing will cease completely
-all cardio activity will halt
-the pupils will dilate to light
-the loss of body temperature from its core will occur

Answer 6

You're in a hallway. At the end of the hallway you see a light. You walk toward the light. With every step you remember a person from life and remember how fun they were. You think how fun it would be to see these people. Pretty soon, you realize you can be back home where you belong and see these people again, and you keep walking. With each step toward heaven (you imagine thats what it is - and where you'll see past friends/family) you get further and further away from heaven.

Answer 7

I have a book at home with pictures

short version is we decompose in 30 days roughly. Blow fly larvae are laid within 4-5 days of death and then after 10 days roughly we release all gases that foam up (nice huh) skin rots and we are bones day 30!

I read alot on forensics and autopsies (for work) I could probably show u pics that would make your stomach turn lol

Answer 8

WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH

Jesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.


The Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.—John 11:11.
The account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle.

Think about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?— And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?— Of course not!

Yet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Gen. 2:7, Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.

The Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.

Clearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection.

Answer 9

I, personally, cannot speak from experience, but I have heard from people who have had near-death experiences is that they are transported to a place that is very bright, not in any specific color. All throughout this place are these genderless balls of light... kind of what I'd attribute to be angels or Masters. And one big ball of light seems to be male. I'd say this is God.

I can't verify this being true at all, but it sounds true enough and many people have had the same experience, so...

Answer 10

I saw my mother pass and it was like the energy that was her life just left her.

You are consious of nothing you are asleep in death and Jesus will wake you at the Resurrection.
John 11
11After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."
