The Process of Life After Death 

If there is one constant in this world, it would surely be death. Dying is an unavoidable part of life, and the fear of death is held by everyone as well. Perhaps it is the relationship of death with pain or the unknown state of the human consciousness after death, or maybe a combination of both. The fear felt is undoubtedly universal, but the ways in which it is dealt with are varied and diverse. Christians, for example, believe that souls that have lived by the words of their god will exist eternally in heaven as divine being themselves. This conception of an afterlife is generally what we people who are residents of the United States hold to be true. Similar to Christianity, Hinduism also eases the fear of death by presenting a life after death. Between Christianity and Hinduism, both have few similarities and many differences on how men and women have made dying less depressing and disturbing through religion. The focus of this paper is the differences between the western and eastern ideas of life after death.
