What happens after death?

After you die, your body goes to rest and your mind starts a new journey.

Your body is like a toy that you stop playing with, it stays where it is, maybe in a box or under the ground, until someone decides to move it. But your thoughts, which are like your favorite songs, keep going on.

What happens to your thoughts?

Imagine you have a robot friend who follows your orders. While you're alive, you tell this robot what to do, like "go to school" or "eat cake." When you die, the robot still keeps working, but it doesn't know where you are anymore. It just keeps doing what you told it to do.

Sometimes, other people meet this robot and start giving it new orders, that's how stories about you can change over time.

What if there’s more?

If you had a special place in your heart for someone else, maybe they feel something too, like when you leave a room and the air feels different. That might be them starting their own journey, just like you did.
