Ok. You are asking this question in medicine.
Therefore I am going to give you a medical / scientific answer.
There is no evidence for the existence of a soul. There is no firm definition of what a soul is - it is a vague non-scientific term used to describe "life force", "personality", "emotions" - what makes one the person that one is.
From a scientific point of view all these "personal" / personality qualities are functions of the brain mediated by interactions between neurons. When the body dies, the brain dies. The neurons die. The "soul" is an emergent property of the complex interacting system of neurons and therefore it dies too...
To get an idea of what I mean by a property of a complex interacting system another vague concept you can think about is nature. Nature does not have any particular definition - it is the product of the complex interaction of all the biomass on the planet. If the planet ceased to exist nature too would cease to exist.

"Soul" first define it. The rest of your body, about $14 disintegrates into dust, and is used again... by bacteria, plants, absorbed into hays and grains, eaten by fish or cows, and again makes its ways into higher preditory animals.....sooner or later....... You have molecules in your body that were once part of Beethoven, but none yet from Elvis -- he hasn't been dead long enough. Soul? when blood ceases to circulate in your brain it rots. The bacteria that digested your food 3 days after your heart stops begins to digest you. Beautiful. no waste...... Our planet is a closed system. Not much in the way of material enters except for the occasional meteorite, and not much leaves, except for the occasional NASA probe. Perfect.

Nothing, because souls don't exist. They're just like imaginary friends.

When we die our spirits leaves our body goes to two places that is called paradise and spirit prison. Through the old and the new testaments it teaches us that when we die we go to a resting place were the spirit rests from all the worldly things.

Your question is a question many have wanted answers to since the world came into being. It's a good question! I'm what my family calls a medium. I myself call me an insight person since God has giving be the ability to see a small bit into the other side. I don't say this is a gift since gifts you can return or not accept. I can't return mine. And though I have tried for years to ignore it still comes thru when things are wanting to be said from others on that side. I will tell u what I know and have seen myself. It is true that your soul lives on. A soul is the energy of our life as we used it. And if you are knowledgeable about energy you will know that energy can not end. Energy in whatever form it may be still exists no matter what. You can not kill energy. When your body has ended as in death it goes to the 'other side' i will say to make thiings easier. There are many different levels that it will return to since the first time it was there. Depending on your experiences and learnings while on Earth depends on which level you will go to. Everything that you did not learn, could not accept will be spent on time relearning the way that we are suppose to. But what the real value of your life is decided on is love. The hatred or angry or sorrow are emotions that will affect your place there but love out rules many of them. You take the love that you have had given and gave with you when you go. Ones that I have been closest to while living seem to be the ones stronger to give be some info about what goes on for me. They said everything I know happens yet there is more than they are allowed to tell for my own growth experience. Meaning if I knew it all then I'd have nothing more to learn here on Earth. Some have mentioned that they have seem every aspect of their growing years from the moment they were born. This also showed them of the wrongs they had done too. The wrongs are then worked over with them before anything is done. Some have gone thru life using or taking for granted what life had to give them. They therefore don't go to a higher level but one below. They have to start all over with their 'training' to be able to come back to Earth again if they want to be able to graduate to the next level. It is always your choice to decide. When my Mother in Law died this year. She was met by her 2 brothers and later her father. One brother killed many people in war, the other brother was army but a driver for ambulance care. The one who killed was in a different area than the other. Both of these brothers were very close to her while living. It seems the ones that meant the most to you are ones the come to greet you. I was told that Fred would only stay for a visit than he would have to leave. The other would show her around and then he too would have to go back to his 'area'. That short visit lasted for more than three days. Time is not like it is on Earth. Mom was bewildered to say the least but never frightenend and rather happy and felt complete love around her. Safe is the word she gave me. She was SAFE. Bill her other brother told her there are many levels and rooms where she is now. It will be decided by someone else which room or level she will go to. But everywhere it is bright, warm, peaceful and love surrounds you. You will never be afraid and only love will take you there. If life is cut short there's other places but I was not allowed to glimpse these. I have friends and loved ones that died from suicide and I have never been about to get in touch with them. They are there somewhere but what they did to themselves was not accepted by the higher ones and therefore need to spend their time separated from the ones that lived fully as they were able to. There is no pain. If you have lost legs, arms, they aren't needed there either. Whatever you want or need is given to you. If you became hungry you are already full. Just the thought of having to want or need something is fulfilled that instant. You can move about everywhere except those areas where extra work is being done on some souls. Music is all over for you to hear. Nothing I have heard comes close to what is played here on Earth. It's relaxing, warming and the love comes thru that too very strong. You have time to see others you knew. Yet you can move and go for a walk just to enjoy. All the answers we have wanted to learn are giving to you when you first go over. You understand the meaning of life and everything you have wondered about is answered for you. You will remember tooo other things that were given to you a time before when you were there the first time. I hope this helps you in some way. Your question I can answer but not as completely as I wish as I am never shown it all.If I was given everything then I'd not be able to accomplish my own growth. Another thing I have noticed too. Most are not wearing the clothes that they were buried in. Everyone it seems has a favorite time where they wore that they liked and thought looked best in. It's that, that I see them wearing. A favorite sweater, a suit, even an old fishing hat,lol. One more thing...each person who has died at the time of death has lost a total of 20 grams. No matter what their old weight is or how tall this measure is always the same...only 20 grams. Some say thats the weight of the soul.
Good bye my friend and God bless.
