I don't believe in an afterlife as such but then I think your last experience (death) could feel like one. It's a lot to think about.
I'm pretty sure that we've talked about this before, but that doesn't so much scare me as it does intrigue me.

EDIT: Didn't even see your post above.

While this kind of goes against the curiosity that I mentioned above, what you describe is all I can think about when someone I know passes. Knowing that they had to experience that affects me more than knowing that I'll never see them again.
