That’s the Vedic prescription.

BHAGAVAD GITA 8.6

yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ
tyajaty ante kalevaram
taṁ tam evaiti kaunteya
sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ

Translation

Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, O son of Kuntī, that state he will attain without fail.

Moving on …..onwards and upwards

Listening to radio 3 in the UK a very successful violin player had come to the stage where retirement loomed , she was in anxiety after so many years of travelling and performing, how would she cope with her new life ?.She spoke of how new opportunities dawned , new directions , new interests , new and rewarding projects came up automatically as if sent by destiny.
So, in everyone’s lives , especially if we connect with good positive energies connected to mode of goodness duties and a service for the betterment of ourselves or others , inspired actions will be following us .
Death is also like that. New opportunities new progressions , if we stay within the framework of duty and philosophically driven cultures, there is no loss at death but everything to gain .
That’s the Vedic way.
