What happens when you die?

I just recently lost a loved one, and I guess it has caused me to start wanting to know. What do you guys think happens when you die, and why do you think that? Do you think there is a way to talk to someone after they’ve passed, and how would/do you do it? I’d really like to talk to my baby, and I know he won’t talk back, but I still want him to know how much I miss him and wish he were here, ya know? I’ve never been much of a “religious” person, and honestly don’t know if I believe in anything, but I need to believe in something to know how to handle this.. Any thoughts or advice would be nice :) thank you!

Answer #1

littledarling - Okay, am I missing something here?

28 days ago you asked if you could be pregnant and then stated you took a pregnancy test and it was negative.

5 days ago you asked if you should take racy photos of you on a stripper pole and give them to your boyfriend for valentine’s day.

As someone who has lost a child, I have serious doubts you were ever pregnant. The subjects of your questions do not reflect that you recently had a baby die.

The people who answered your question did so and sent their sympathy to you. What is going on here?

If I am off base, let me know…but I bet I am not.

Answer #2

I said my baby died. my baby was my cat, and I actually explained in that last comment before that I CALLED him my baby. it was not WORDED to sound as if I meant a human baby, it was worded as I would talk about him! if you ask anyone who knows me, you would know that very well.

but, as I can clearly see, all you wanted to do by posting on this question was try to make a point that didn’t even make sense OR need to be made at all. you, I must say, are acting like a complete @ss for no reason. I did NOT intend to mislead anyone, nor do I think any one else cared enough to actually go through trying to find out about my business, because this question was not made to make a point about my lost loved one, but to make a point about the question about what happens when you die. but ya know, it’s awesome that you’re so insensetive not to realize that people can still hurt from losing a pet that they loved like a child. if you don’t mind, I’d like it very much if you took that stick out of your @ss and stopped trying to make a different issue out of the question I CLEARLY stated.

Answer #3

To LittleDarling :

I have read That your Baby is a Cat, When Someone Dies They Are in Sleep Mode They Cannot Talk to you Not even Through Mediums Or Psychcs. In Ecclesiastes 9:5 it says “For the living are Conscious that they will die, but as for the dead, they have conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten”

So in the Bible it says Clearly That When We Die we are conscious Of nothing at all, The diffrence Between animals and Humans is that When we die we have hope of the Resurrection, iN John 5:28,29 It talks about the Resurrection, Animals Dont have hope for the Resurrection, They just died and dont exist anymore,

But,,,… After Armaggedon The earth will be paradise (Revelation 21:1-5) Were their Will be all kinds of animals And they wont be wild, it says that theirs going to be children playing with a lion, Armaggedon is Very Very Close Were Living in the last days (Matthew 24:1-14)

if you have any Questions you can fun-mail me :)

Answer #4

oh I’m sorry. I took a pregnancy test, and found out I wasn’t pregnant, yes. I still haven’t had my period, so I still might be and might have taken it too soon, but that’s beside the point :P

the reason I don’t act like I lost a child is because I lost my cat not an actual BABY. I didn’t specify, because I knew some people had already seen that in one of my past questions, much like you should have seeing as how you went through all of mine :P Also, I didn’t even think about the fact that I called him ‘my baby’, because that’s what I’ve called him since the day I got him. to me, I was his mother, and he was my child. which sounds rediculous.. haha

I’m sorry for anyone who didn’t know, and thought that I had actually lost a human baby! I didn’t intend for that, but I thought it would be safe not to worry about that!

Answer #5

Thank you.

Answer #6

I have pets and I love them…

Your question was worded as if it were a human baby…you refer to talking to someone after they die…

Your question was worded to mislead us…

Answer #7

Im pagan and my belief is that when we die we get reincarnated. I receatly lost my soulmant & love 4 3 years and I believe you can get incontact with people frm the other side not so sure about animals. Theres lots of things you could do but I dont recomend unless you know how to protect yourself (meaning psychicly basically Youd have 2 b pagan 2)Im srry about your cat dieing I can tell your upset Im sure shes probably in a better place :(

Answer #8

hmm thanks :)

I think the whole ‘animals have no souls’ thing is bull, though :P like, people say that when they die nothing happens to them because the bible tells them that, but I honestly cannot believe that animals just DIE and that’s that. they have feelings, thoughts, emotions, and love. they HAVE souls. I have never believed that when they die they’re just gone.

not to offend anyone who believes otherwise! this is just about what people think :)

Answer #9

ok I’m sorry, I admit I was very rude. I fully realize that I’m young and immature and don’t know ANYTHING about what it’s like to loose an ACTUAL human child. I’m SO sorry to anyone who I might have offended if I did in any way by saying that I might be feeling ANYTHING like what they are feeling. I know very well that what I am going through is NOTHING like losing any human at all, let alone your own child.

I’m very sorry about the fact that I was acting so rude :( I guess I wasn’t thinking about how unbelievably inconciderate I was being.. I may be young, but that is no excuse for acting the way I did and lashing out at you like that. I’m very sorry.

Answer #10

I looked through your questions because I visited your profile. I have lost a child and was going to write to you directly to offer comfort and advice then I noticed your question about if you could be pregnant. Things did not add up. And if no one else was bothered by the fact your question appeared to be about the loss of a human child then fine. I was bothered by it. And yes, when a pet dies I am extremely upset and I mourn. But I would never word a question relating to the death of my pet, even though many of us feel that our pets ARE our children, as having lost my baby and use the word ‘someone’ which indicates a human.

You are young, obviously going through some things, and do not understand nor seem to want to understand why someone who has lost a child would be bothered by the wording and implication of your question, so I will ignore your rudeness and cursing.

Answer #11

I’m sorry about your loss. I’m sure this must be very difficult for you.

Nonetheless, reality is what reality is. Your baby simply no longer exists in any meaningful sense. It’s natural to deny this and wish it weren’t true, but you know that part of you realizes it’s true.

Answer #12

I think you just die and dont exist anymore after you die. just like when you didnt exist before you were born. I don’t believe in the fairytail about heaven and hell.

Answer #13

Are you talking about a human baby or your cat that recently died?

Answer #14

It causes all of us to know. When we loose somebody we think

Where is she/he now? Can he see me? Is he getting hurt?

But I think the true answer are in our believes in what we believe. Meaning your religion. Some may think thee is a heaven and a hell based on the bibble. But everybody has a different view.

Answer #15

Sorry about your loss hon.No one really knows.Some say they saw a bright light.Some say there is a staircase leading you into heaven.Some say there is a door and when you open it and walk throgh the doorway,you are standing on clouds.I don’t know.We all don’t know for sure.There are diff.stories.

Answer #16

no one knows sweetheart… :)

some people that have died and have been recovered by docs say they seen a bright white light, family members telling them it wasnt their time…

and others have said that saw and herd nothing… so no one knows the truth…

its just 1 of them things we’ll only know for sure when it happens to us..

sorry for your loss I know its hard :)

Answer #17

Thanks everyone for your input :) I feel a lot better just knowing there are at least people -thinking- about this as much as I am, too! I know I’m not big on religion, but I’m not sure that it’s possible for nothing to happen to us at all, either. And since my baby died, I guess I really want to believe that no matter where he is he can at least still be -him- and still hear me some how :/

Answer #18

I dont believe in heaven & hell. I think it just stops all life, everythings gone. no thought, no feeling. just nothing. sometimes I think about it and get a little freaked like what if you can feel yuor presence isn’t there anymore like your just stuck in your body or just stuck inbetween knowing life and knowing death.
But most of the time reincarnation enters my brain.

Answer #19

No, I don’t think there is anything after death, that would kind of contradict the meaning of “death”. You just die and thats that. I think that it will be how it was before I was born - absolutely nothing. And I won’t care because I won’t be able to. None of that heaven stuff… And I don’t think that you can communicate with te dead, thats just a load of money-making preying on people who are upset.

Answer #20

Sorry for your loss, but try to understand (though its hard) that it is no more than the separation between you and them that brings such sorrow. I believe in God, and with that I can tell you that that one that was so precious to you will never know pain and grief like you know it ,and now they are truly in God’s hands. In this world there are no guarntees, not even for a baby or infant; sometimes bad things happen even to the innocent. But don’t lose heart, because soon your life will be filled with many others that you will love dearly and unconditionally, and though they can never take your baby’s place, they will bring new meaning and love to your life in ways you never though possible.

Answer #21

My brother died when I was very little. I know he went to heaven. I know that everybody is better in heaven and there is no pain. I think that God allows me and my family to see him in our dreams. I’m the one that had accualy talked with him really and the conversaiton was shortened because of being woken. Some preachers that have preached at my church say I’m a special child. I have seen Jesus in one of my dreams. There really isn’t a sure way of talking to people who have died there are people who can talk with or see or both ghosts. Thoses people can only talk with the sprits that approch them. If you want to talk tome more just fun mail me

Answer #22

Well if you want a minority standpoint, Jews believe in not much in particular. If you think about it, has anyone ever seen this magical white fluffy place in the sky? If we go into the earth, will we find the whole inside hollowed out and all the dead people for millions of years getting tortured by demons? Probably not. Jews think that the desceased live in your memory and as long as they’re there they can’t die. That, in my opinion, makes much more sense. If they can be remembered then they can’t be gone because that memory makes their presence on earth tangible, not just a dead body in a wooden box underground.

Answer #23

So sorry for your lost I feel for you,but just remember that we just didn’t pop up out of the blue as people say,thing’s happen for a reason aswell there is a Maker and he is Jesus and he has a Father aswell,no one really know’s what happen’s when we Die but once again it’s for a reason just like life,I think we all must prove are self’s while were here and we will be judged just like we are now. The Bible mention’s Heaven could be all around us we just can’t see it and were not suppose to know what happen’s when we Die aswell,it’s all for a good reason let me tell you something my Mother past away 16 month’s ago ,now keep in mind that we were real close and I had only two dream’s about her right after her Death and she approached me and gave me something from her hand to mine and keep in mind she looked like she did when she was 25yrs. old and the second time she was in an automoble and she was in the back seat and she said to me this will be the last time you will see me and you know I think she was told not to tell me what it is going to be like and I have not had any more dream’s about her aswell,you see I’m a Light Bearer for Jesus I pass the Religion alone as much as possible so if you wan’t to see your lost loved one’s you must live for Jesus,PJC.Jesus be with allway’s,your friend Robert.

Answer #24

thank you jersey454 :) that’s actually exactly what I was hoping for. people to tell me what THEY believe, no matter what anyone else believes!
