LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) -- What happens after you die? This may be the greatest question people ask. How we choose to live our lives is often predicated upon the answer. For if we believe nothing happens after death, then it's logical to assume we are not going to be motivated by desire for a heavenly reward, or intimidated by a fear of hell. Conversely, if we believe in life after death, then we might be motivated by this belief to act differently.

There is, of course, no way to answer this question with a conclusive response, except on the basis of faith. However, some people have been dead and remarkably come back to life. Many of these people shared some compelling experiences that could offer a clue about what happens when you die.
