The afterlife is a massive mystery, and in this video, we detail what the New Church believes happens (both in general and step-by-step). The short answer is that life simply continues, but in a more beautiful and real way than we can possibly imagine.
"Being Mercy itself, the Lord is constantly forgiving a person's sins; but sins cling to a person no matter how much they suppose them to have been forgiven. Nor are they removed from a person except through a life in keeping with the commandments of faith."
