Grief counselor David Kessler explores what happens to a person's spirit after death, drawing on Einstein's first law of thermodynamics: energy is neither created nor destroyed. He notes that many grievers report feeling the presence of the deceased, and that cultures and religions have long grappled with this question.

Where do our loved ones go after they've died? This is always a topic in my grief groups. Where are they now? Where did they go? We know what happens to their body, but we're trying to figure out what happens to their spirits, their essence. Where does it go? Einstein talks about energy as neither created nor destroyed. It's the first law of thermodynamics. Do they become a part of everything? Does their energy dissipate? Are they hovering somewhere? Do they go to heaven? All cultures and religions throughout time have tried to answer these questions. And it's just a question until your loved one dies, and then it becomes deeply personal and a profound inquiry. Grievers talk about feeling their loved one's presence. Where do you think they are? Let me know your thoughts and follow for more information and support.
