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.
"The life that leads to heaven is not one of withdrawal from the world but a life in the world, and a life of piety apart from a life of love does not lead to heaven at all."
