There is an afterlife. I know this because I was there for a brief period of "time". I also know for sure that God does exist, and He is a spirit of pure Love that is truly unimaginable. I can't prove this to anyone else, but I am telling the truth based on my own direct experience.
This wondrous mystical experience that I had gives me hope to make it to the end of my life, even though my sadness-based chronic depression is a very heavy burden to carry that often makes me long for life to end. I know intuitively that if I endure to the end without losing my faith and staying in obedience to God, no matter what bad things happen, then I can return to Him again and experience that incredible Love, Peace, and Joy for all eternity.
