After death, so sorry to burst your bubble, but many many cases have proved to people that they have witnessed a loved one after death which has provided much comfort..
The reasearch is there, so you are FLATLY WRONG TO SAY
*You will see your loved ones again* when they have suffered a loss.
Explain this?
People born blind can see during an NDEdocumented the solid evidence of 31 cases in which blind people report visually accurate information obtained during an NDE. Perhaps the best example in his study is that of a forty-five year old blind woman by the name of Vicki Umipeg. Vicki was born blind, her optic nerve having been completely destroyed at birth because of an excess of oxygen she received in the incubator. Yet, she appears to have been able to see during her NDE. Her story is a particularly clear instance of how NDEs of the congenitally blind can unfold in precisely the same way as do those of sighted persons

Are we talking about NDE's or ghosts?
There are documented cases of people seeing ALL sorts of things "after death" and some who see nothing at all.
I find NDE studies to be absolutely fascinating, but they still do not serve as evidence of life after death. For one thing, strictly speaking, one cannot say it is "after death" because the person came back to tell about it.
And what the person sees seems to have an awful lot to do with what they believe. If you really start reading up on all of the case studies (not just the ones published in books written by Christians with an agenda), you will find plenty of interesting though contradictory stories.
My step-dad died three times during a medical emergency. He saw nothing at all. Then again, he doesn't believe in heaven. Coincidence?
I personally do believe we have eternal souls and further adventures await us... but there's still no conclusive evidence of an afterlife and I won't pretend there is.
As far as ghosts go... my dearly beloved have a tendncy to visit me in my dreams shortly after passing. It's always a comfort, but that doesn't prove it isn't purely my imagination. At any rate, whatever happens after death, the one thing I'm sure of is that they wouldn't want me to be depressed and I'm sure they have better things to do than hang around to keep an eye on me.

1. AGAIN you do not cite a source. Are you simply making this stuff up to try to look like a pseudo-intellectual?
2. What on earth does that prove about your god? If it were true, it would simply prove that the brain does some whacky things with a lack of oxygen.

Improper conclusion.
You know the body is also capable of reacting as if it can see even if no visible data appear to the person's consciousness.
Blind people can still know what their relatives look like, by the way, and hallucinations are common when near death.
As long as you're not actually citing these studies, I'm going to doubt them. You're pulling the conclusions you *want* to believe out of data that do not support them.

And what has any of this to do with god or religion. Many people have experienced many different things during traumas. The human body is a magnificent machine. It is all a human process, nothing to do with god or religion. Just because you want it to be does not make it so.

That's not the whole story. Klingon's have been using blind humans for centuries to navigate hyperspace.
Good work Sherlock!

See what? Hallucinations? You don't need optic nerves to 'see' things that are being made up in your own mind.
To me, this would 'prove' that it's not actual real solid things that are being seen at all - just things that are being imagined. Your 'proof' seems to be proving the opposite of what you intended it to prove.

Care to post one example that passes peer review?
People see all kinds of things. Human perception is horrible evidence.

And you believe this because why exactly?
Documented evidence is not documented evidence until it is documented. And you have not done so. You have provided neither evidence nor documentation.
