All I know is that it is a beautyful and loving place.
Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

The Bible is the source of answers to such questions. It says about death...
Ecclesiastes 9:5,6 and 10: "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun. 10 All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She′ol, the place to which you are going."
Ecclesiastes 3:19-20: "19 For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. 20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust."
Psalm 146: 3 & 4: "3 Do not put YOUR trust in nobles,
Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs.
4 His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground;
In that day his thoughts do perish."
Genesis 3:19: "In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”
So from what the Bible says, when we die, we are dead, we cease to have any conscious thought at all. The life force has left us and we cease to exist. However, the Bible also gives us the hope of a resurrection...Jesus resurrected his friend Lazarus and we have that as an example of what we can look forward to, but although Lazarus later died again, we will have the chance never to die again after we are resurrected.
Acts 24:15:"and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."
John 11:23-25: "Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” 24 Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life;"
Revelation 21:3 has an important key word in it. Notice that it says mankind. If this was talking about people who had died and become somekind of spirit creatures, it would not say mankind, for that is what we are physically...
"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
I added verse 4 because it give us the promise of everlasting life where there will be no mourning or death. God created us to live forever, but Adam and Eve lost that perfection. Through Jesus we have that hope once again.
Romans 5:12: "12 That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned"
Romans 6:23: "For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord."
John 17:3: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ"

I assume that were is suppose to be where. Anyhoo...nope. I have no idea. I'm just here for the ride and to read Jackie Collins' next book. What happens to me when I kick the buckey is beyond me. I don't think I'll care at that point.

It depends on how you define 'You'.. I think most of me will go into a hole in the ground, and an unseen part of me will remain somewhere in some capacity, as it did before it entered 'Me'.
Make any sense?

In the ground?
Depends if I ask my ashes to be scattered somewhere.
I have a feeling that you are labouring under a misapprehension.

No. No one is supposed to know since it all depends on our deeds and intentions and how well we follow God.
