The Lovely Bones

I watched the film The Lovely Bones as I thought it related well to my research 'why do people fear death,' especially the fact that no one know what happens when we die. The film follows the story of a girl called Suzie Salmon who is murdered by her neighbour when walking home one evening. The film is narrated by her as she watches over her family before going to heaven. She tries to let her family know she is still there and get justice for her death. Only once she is ready and feels it is time to let go and let her family carry on with their lives she goes into heaven. This is a very moving film and made me realise there is no answer to what happens once we die and we will probably never know, making the fear of death even more scary.
