What if I told you that no matter what you believe/religion you choose to follow, in my opinion none of them are necessary. when your body "dies" you will be fine and you don't have to worry about seeing your loved ones again. There is no real self, at least not how you've been led to believe, just one consciousness experiencing what you call "me" through different filters "your body" like a camera lense with senses. That make you feel like your are separate from the rest of the one vibrational field that makes up everything. Make as many good memories as you can, cause they will be contained within this vibrational field like ripples in a pond(just like your loved ones), the one consciousness will experience the memories of your life forever. Imagine each of us and everything you see, as a water droplet Falling in a waterfall, it looks like a separate droplet until it lands back in the river then it looks like one huge piece again. You are that droplet.
