I picture it like Judgement Day, ' he says finally, his eyes on the water. 'We'll rise up out of our bodies and find each other again in spirit form. We'll meet in that new place, all of us together, and first it'll seem strange, and pretty soon it'll seem strange that you could ever lose someone, or get lost. Jennifer Egan
About This Quote

There are many different ways to look at the world. Some see it as a place of heaven and others see it as a place of hell. When you die, you go to heaven or hell and live forever in these places until Judgement Day (the end of the world). This quote is a metaphor for death and dying.

When we die we exist in two places: the physical world and an invisible one. Some people believe that once we die our souls actually travel to heaven or hell. The idea is that after we die we will split up (in the case of hell this would be like splitting up into different pieces).

We will all reunite again in spirit form, but this time we will never again be separated. If you want to know more about my book click here
