My aunt passed march 8th, unexpectently due to a blood clot in her lungs. The hospital let us sit in the room with her after she passed so we could call family and friends to tell the news. Every wednesday night i sob uncontrolably, how do you all grieve? Is there a heaven or hell and are their spirits with us?

Sorry for your loss :( Death is a very tough thing and something one never gets use to. Particularly the death of someone close to us. You are grieving the loss of your aunt and that is a natural process to go through. Overtime you will come to terms with it and experience closure.
In my humble opinion, it is easier for one to go through the grieving process if they do have some believe in life after death. As a Christian, I believe when I die my spirit or soul will go to Heaven to be with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, so that provides me comfort. As I'm sure it does for those of other religions who believe in life after death.
So, it is comforting for those of us who believe there is life eternal after this short life we are experiencing now.
Best of luck to you my friend. I will keep you in my prayers.

When we were growing up, we were taught that people come into this world, carrying already, the date of their death. You didn't know how you would die but it was already set. The first time I had a hard time coping with a death in the family, a friend sent me this quote: "Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it that you are strong enough to let go."

I believe you should do what it takes to grieve and get over it because we alway hope that the person that passed on is in a better place. Yes I believe that there is a heaven and a hell and that you should get to know your maker to me that is GOD the father and live your life accordding to his will.

Yes there are... my best friend died January 19th and I still feel his presence even now... it is like this warm glow that I feel on the back of my neck and down my back... and he often appears to me in dreams.... I do believe there is life after death and that I will be reunited with him again... I know it sounds crazy but after they called me to tell me he died... I went and laid down on the bed crying hysterically and all of a sudden I felt this calm presence settle over me and I swear I felt someone stroking my hair... which when he was alive was something he always loved to do... I still have moments where I cry and often I question why him... but I know that all in love is for a reason and one day I will see what the reason was... but it is sometimes just hard not knowning.

Yes. There is a Heaven and a Hell. If your aunt received Jesus in her heart she will undoubtly be joining him. I Had an aunt who did receive Christ, she rejected him all the times she was offered toreceive him- she died without him and is now perishing in hell.
We ALL are told and warned about receiving Christ for an everlasting peace experience!
John 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
I hope and pray this helped you! God bless!
