1. Psychological beliefs regarding life after death

Haraldsson, Erlendur (2006). Popular psychology, belief in life after death, and reincarnation in the Nordic countries, Western and Eastern Europe. Nordic Psychology, 58(2), 171–180. doi:10.1027/1901-2276.58.2.171

Cross-cultural research by Haraldsson reveals that the perceptions of death and going to "the other side" incorporate predictable and recognizable standard components and concepts. These phenomena result from shared neural and brain structures, shared biological events, and shared responses of the central nervous system to stimulus. According to Haraldsson, many people in European countries believe that there is life after death. Furthermore, biology widely accepts that a person's existence ends with death. Popular psychology differs from the biological sciences in their beliefs regarding the end of life as part of psychology may very well alter conduct belief in the existence of an "actual" world post-death.

2. Medicine beliefs regarding end of life: death

There was a varying amount of time between a person's death and their subsequent reincarnation on Earth, according to Burrell et al., 2020. Although there is no scientific evidence to support medical science's beliefs in life after death, it is known that grieving the deceased impacts friends, family, and acquaintances' mental and social wellness. There are limitations on funeral sizes and customs for those who lose a loved one during the current COVID-19 outbreak. There is little social assistance accessible to suffering people, and social isolation worsens psychological morbidity and sociological beliefs about death. Emerging data indicate that throughout the epidemic, the bereaved and the funeral directors and celebrants who supported them showed extraordinary fortitude by coming up with creative alternatives to customary routines and rituals. Although science contends there is no life beyond the death of a physical body, further research is required to better understand the experiences and consequences of sorrow and loss during COVID-19.

3. Sociological Believes Regarding Life after Death

Livne, R. (2019). Values at the end of life: The logic of palliative care. Social Forces https://doi.org/10.1093/sf/soz139

According to Livner, the end of a person's social life and identity may precede the end of their physical life: sociologists term this "social death ."Death is increasingly visible in the mass media, and society must deal with the problems of an aging population. For most of human history, the standard of living has been significantly lower than it is now. Humans struggled to survive with few amenities and minimal medical technology. As a result, the risk of death due to disease or accident was high in any life stage, and life expectancy was low. According to Walter, people began to live longer due to industrialization and advancements in medical technology. Social and health systems are better equipped to provide a holistic and all-encompassing response to the deteriorating individual and their families/caregivers.
