I believe you are right with this one. "nothingness".
No way. In the first place our body is not the living being that we are. The scriptures say, "The body without the spirit is dead." That is because we are spirit people first and then God sends us to families and bodies. To back that up in Genesis 2: 4-5 "God made the earth and the heavens, And every plant of the field
before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field
before it grew; further down God places us spirits within our bodies as was the example of Adam and Eve.
To add to that, which I have said before, My grand mother came to see me, told me she wanted to see how I was doing. I knew she was passed away but worried about bringing that up. Finally I cleverly asked, "What's it like
where you are?" She smiled a knowing smile and answered, "Just like you think it is."
Dang it! I was wanting details. So, I think it is beautiful beyond compare, happy and she came to see me without glasses and a limp that seemed to be worse after hip surgery. Anyway she took a look around my room and then said, "Clean your room up." and was disappeared. Where'd she go?
I wondered how many different answers that I can get to this question, etc. I have heard about this "after life", etc. Exactly how true is it really? This thread is not meant to be argumentative, etc. 
etc. I just want to know what folks are thinking
in regards to death and religion's effect on it, etc. As the two always ride together, etc. What are your comments?
beliefs and faith in biblical teachings, etc. Such has it places among the living, etc. Yet as we view life, etc. Once it's over (you are deceased) it's just that, it's over! But there will continue to be these after-life
