No one REALLY knows what's out there. Depending on personal and religious beliefs, most people THINK they know what will happen, but there's always a tiny element of doubt, even in the most faithful - "what if I'm wrong?" My husband feels that since it's not something he has any control over, he's just not going to worry about it, and he doesn't care what comes after this - he'll be dead. I wish I could get behind that theory! I think the biggest fear of dying is the fear of the big unknown that is death. No one REALLY knows what’s out there.
