How much of a difference does it really make?
Live your life in whatever way makes you feel the most confident about facing death. One hopes that you will be kind and compassionate towards others, making this world a better place for all of us. The consequences of death shouldn't change that.

The afterlife... I hear it's like being on vacation with a group of Germans :-)
Seriously though, I think it's possible there may well be some retention of consciousness, after all; your thought processes are basically just tiny electric currents pulsing down neural pathways.
Since energy cannot be destroyed, who is to say (other than most scientists...) that some part of you is not aware of that brain energies transition to another form.
It's unlikely but its better than nothing :-)

According to the Bible, which could have been written by insane people for all we know, if you were really good....HEAVEN...Hooray!
But if you were really bad...H-E- Double hockey sticks...OH NOOOO!!
...it's so nice that things are so simple and black and white...isn't it? I mean..if you were bad and killed lots of people and then repent you would still have to go to hell right! Oh wait, no...they you get to maybe go to heaven if you were truely sorry...it's just so darn confusing.
Man....what a question. I'd have to say that after death I'll have all the sights, sounds, and feelings that I had in all the years proir to my birth....NOTHING!
What makes us so special that we think our essance needs to go on for an eternity? When we die...it's over. No harps, angels, bad guys with pitch forks, turning into sacred cows, floating around and hauting houses...nothing. Just the end.
...I know this because God told me.

Can't be too bad, no one has ever comeback.
Seriously, I have seen someone die and I don't think theres anything left. I saw no soul leave or peaceful expression, or anything except a cessation of breathing. Would nothingness be so bad?

If you are talking about the vows, and your spouse has now passed away. Then yes you can get remarried. If that's not what you are talking about then you need to put a little more in your ?.

Do you mean the vows "until death do us part"? Then you exchange rings and are pronounced husband and wife and you get to kiss.

If you are a Christian and saved, the Bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Many believe in recarnation - but what you come back as depends on how you live your life.
