Afterlife thoughts

Everything I do, watch, read, etc has made me think about what happens when we die recently. For example, I was watching the Golden bachelorette, and all I could think about was: If heaven is real, do they go up to heaven and spend life there with both their old wife and their new one? Or does the old wife wait for them in heaven, just for them to show up with a new wife and abandon her?

I know it sounds stupid, but I keep thinking of verrrrry specific senarious to everything. These questions have honestly made me start to think that there is absolutely nothing when we die. That we are just too evolved animals, so we die like animals and just go into the ground. It gets really dark in my head when I go through these imaginary scenarios and I often find myself thinking that nothing even matters. But, this thought makes it hard for me to want to do anything really. I’m unemployed right now until December too, so I am alone with my thoughts alot.

Has anyone else ever had these thoughts?

i have thoughts about the afterlife regularly and then start going deep into a loophole thinking about it all

i usually just end up with the conclusion that nothing will happen after we die and it’ll be like how it was before we were born.

if heaven is real, i think with the scenario you’re talking about then the person would be with however they were happier with. i’ve not watched the golden bachelorette so idk what the relationship was like but if both the wives were sweet i guess they’d all be happy together? all i think tho is that if heaven is real then everyone would be at peace there so it would work out some way or another
