atheist/agnostic, I feel that we have an after life. maybe just a short one, but not connected to a god. Maybe just connected to us.

Ps, before you ask, my biological father who I never knew, visited me about 20 some years after he died, and my daughter sitting on my lap saw him, looked at him in the face and they smiled at each other. I only knew it was him after looking things up and asking a relative a question about him.
My stepfather visited me and asked questions about things my mother told him when I was a teen.
I have had 3 cats come back to me after death.
I don't see them, I feel them.
