Is it normal to think about the afterlife very often?

So, for all my life, I just think of the afterlife, and it often depresses me. We live, and then we die. That's it. That's all the human race knows about. We're born, we live our life, then we die. It's frightening. Do we feel our selves after we die? Do we come back? Do we go to own little place in the sky? Please, is it normal to think about this and get depressed?

    I think about it sometimes, but I find it interesting. Not trying to force my beliefs on anyone, but I believe your soul is alive after your body dies. So I think there is an afterlife, or whatever you want to call it.

    I'm no judge of anything. If You may want to know the answer to your question, read Quran, you'll find it everywhere, and in your preferred language. Read till the end with explanations of the verses, there are detailed Quran books. This is only one book, just read it as any other. See what your life will be after that. Misery or purposeful?

    You shouldn't focus on death. Life is what should be holding your attention. Whether there is an afterlife or not, your life now is real and happening. Don't give what is after much thought.
    This may not seem calming or peaceful at first, but I believe when you die that that is it. You won't feel or be conscious in any way. People say you can't know what comes after death. That's true. We can't be 100% positive, but we can make an educated guess instead of an ignorant one based on some ancient mythology written by people who knew very little about science, the cosmos, and what makes a human tick. The brain is responsible for our state of consciousness, so when it dies, so do we.
    When people ask me "what happens after we die? What is it like? Do we feel pain or emotions?" I simply reply with this - "Do you remember anything before you were born?" To that they say "no". So I say "and that is exactly how it will be when you die - nothing." And I mean nothing in all of its empty glory. And when you finally cannot feel, cannot see, cannot think, well then you will find peace. Only thing is that you won't be aware of it, because you won't be aware of anything.
    With pleasure comes pain. And I think after I've had grandchildren, watched them grow into adults, and really lived my life that I will have had enough of both p's. And with that I will be okay to die when my time comes, even though that will be the end of my life. I may not be able to experience the joys of life anymore, but the troubles and horrible realities that accompanied my life will die with me.
    It is peaceful if you really think about it.

    Ok I know where u r coming from. My advice to u is it's something that is going to happen to us all, it's unavoidable, and something to not bf afraid of like being born. Focus on
    Life and stop being so serious u ate just depressing yourself. Do something fun

    I embrace death, I know that something greater awaits. Even if I'm wrong whats the point in living it up if in the end you won't remember that you had fun so it would be like it didn't even happen.
