You live on. Yep, that's right. You continue to live even after you are dead. So, imagine that after you die, you get to see your whole life over. What would you change? Would you volunteer your extra time helping out someone worse off than you? How would you make your mark on history? Would you be remembered for anything remarkable? Or that simply, you lived, you died and then you found out that you still live. What would you do then?
Death is not an ending. It is a beginning.

My guess is that we will go to higher realm (higher dimension) where beings (or the whole reality) exists in energy form and not physical.
(This is just my perspective). I personally dont believe in Hell. But I do believe in souls experiencing hell. Let me eloborate. When a person dies and becomes soul Conscious, that means he/she is free from lust, desire, Hatred and so on. So if this person committed...say a murder in his life time, then after dying and becoming soul conscious, he/she would feel terribly bad for the action they performed while in physical form. They will feel bad for the amount of pain they caused others. Its more like a drunken man waking up afresh and realizing that he had killed someone that night before while he was drunk. The guilt and pain is nothing but Hell. Self-Regret is the highest level of punishment anyone could get.
If we believe in Divine presence, then that divine entity would want to teach people that they did wrong by making them self-realize. Not by torture. You dont want to do good in the fear of torture!. You want to do good because you feel its the right thing. That the goal. We try to project God and God's way of things in Human ways. Thats being narrow minded.

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.
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. You enjoy the best sleep ever, until Jesus resurrects you, sometime in the future.

That's the wrong attitude to have about life. Trust me, I am and have been under lots of stress and was very close to being suicidle. But then I reached out to God and He carried me. If you believe and accept Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior, then you will go to Heaven. But I believe that, if you commit suicide, there will be consequences to that. Pray about it a lot and I believe that God will come through for ya.

Heaven or Hell - no inbetween. Choose Jesus and you have eternal life - choose the devil and his ways - Hell.
