Death and religion

Wether to believe it or not.
I was pregnant when my mother died, I love her so much I though I was going to die with her, but my daughter kept me alive. Today I'm always looking for something that can explain to me why so much energy dies. Where do people go after? We just simply die, and that's it? Why are we here? Can we live in an after life, is it true?
Well, in this search I found in Fátima some advices from irmã Lúcia in her book "Memórias da Irmã Lúcia".
They do not answer me at all, if I ever will get an answer? I doubt it, but it helps to understand the religious point of view of the phenomenon.
You should read it, even if you do not believe what happened to those 3 kids, try to open your mind to it and understand that Jacinta was exhumed from her grave almost 30 years after her death and she was intact, as you can see a picture in this book. How can this happen?

Hei! I'm from Norway. What I have read for some years, are books written by clairvoyant (many diffrent authers). What make sense to me, is that we are here on earth for a reason. To exerience good/bad, only then can we broaden our mind. Brian Weiss has written some good books. His web side: http://www.brianweiss.com/. Regards Kirsten-Lund

Kirsten-lund, Do you know kjellika? He's from Bodo (I don't know how to make a theta).

I recommend the lectures from professor Shelly Kagan on the topic of death. They can be watched for free at the 'Open Yale Courses' website.

It may be worth remembering that more than half the world's population believes in reincarnation. There are many many books on the subject, some good, some utter trash.

Dr. Ian Stevenson is the investigator who looked into a large number of cases of children worldwide who remember past lives. That would be the place to start.

What an interesting thread! I must look into the Open Yale Courses.
