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.
"Those who are in a life according to these [knowledges of Good and Truth], go forward and do not fail; but those who are in knowledges alone, go forward as far as they can, but do not have the light of life, from which is vigor."
