"CT, you ask, "Do you believe you'll see your loved ones agian? If not, what is your thought process facing all this? How do you look at it?"
I shall not see them again, because I think there'll be no me (or them) to see or do anything after we die, any more than we were here 100 or 1000 or 100,000 years ago. I don't expect to see any of our house plants, or my long-dead cat, the cow I ate some of the other day, any of the snails or tetras from our fish tank, or last year's Christmas tree either, for the same reason.
So how do I look at it? I look at my death as the end of my life, and the end of me. Some of my genes persist in my children, and I'll leave words and pictures and other works, but as a coherent, conscious being, I'll be over. Just as with my mother's parents, and my Oma (my dad's mother), and some of my friends, I'll be gone, the chemistry of my brain and body stopped, my thought processes and emotions finished. I'll have nothing to worry about, because there will be nothing left of me capable of worrying.
MC, I don't think I need to make any pact: if, against all evidence, something of me persists after death and I can communicate with the living, I'll make it obvious. It seems especially ridiculous to me that if there is an afterlife, those in it can only signal back using vague, mysterious messages that could easily be misinterpreted as natural phenomena. The real reason I think it's that way is because they are natural phenomena, which we misinterpret as supernatural, and that there's no signalling going on.
So if I can do it, I'll make it unambiguous. But don't bet any money on it."
