I am an atheist. However, I sincerely hope that life goes on after this one and that we have a purpose for existing. Various family problems and some hard life complications in my youth, cause me to long for a chance to do it all over again. I long to meet those that have passed, heal issues and reach new heights together.
Do you believe in life after death? Can you tell me why? I know you can't give me empirical proof but I would love to read your experiences. I guess I am a little down tonight and wish there was more to life than just the here and now.
Currently, the here and now is not a happy place for me.

I believe when you die you are gone.
You then exist only in the memory of others.
In order to return, you would have to be remembered by Someone who showed enough interest to know everything about you, and also has the power to re-create you.
Live your life so that you are missed when you're gone.
Applebaum.....
Someone loves you very much.

Have you ever asked yourself why you would even want a life hereafter if in fact no life hereafter exists?

This is how I feel about a lot of the 'supernatural' subject matter, why would people so desperately want a purpose in life if we didn't have one? It just doesn't make sense to me. Therefore, there must be some purpose, not that I know exactly what that is.. Hopefully it will make itself known to me here soon, I'm getting impatient

From my experiences, I truly believe there is life before, and after, our current ones. I've never been a person who believes in reincarnation, but as a hypnotist, I've come across too many people (typically children) under hypnosis who have dead-on recurrences and regressions about their past lives. After hearing it first hand, it's incredibly difficult for me not to believe.
