1) Heaven, nirvana, etc..
2 ) Reincarnation
3) Some other 'state'
If this is hard to digest, imagine the opposite that would be when you die, it is as if someone pulls an electrical plug out of the wall.
How would this change your ideas about God? About religion? About spirtuality?

I'll get back with you, after I consult a higher power.

Gross!
On the other hand, I'll bet I'd be mighty tasty with a dry rub and then barbequed with an apricot sauce.
Do you think this necro dude would mind if I nibbled on a phlanges or two, ....mm, yum.

Ludwig Wittgenstein: Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus said:
If by eternity is understood not endless temporal duration but timelessness, then he lives eternally who lives in the present.
Our life is endless in the way that our visual field is without limit.
6.4312 The temporal immortality of the human soul, that is to say, its eternal survival after death, is not only in no way guaranteed, but this assumption in the first place will not do for us what we always tried to make it do. Is a riddle solved by the fact that I survive for ever? Is this eternal life not as enigmatic as our present one? The solution of the riddle of life in space and time lies outside space and time.
(It is not problems of natural science which have to be solved.)
-- Bertrand Russell

When that happens, I might reconsider the investment strategy of my retirement funds. But in terms of spirituality etc., nothing will change.
