How do you imagine life after death? Remember the 4 Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell.
The Scriptures give us the consolation of the truth.
The souls of the just are in peace.
"For if to others, indeed, they seem punished, yet is their hope full of immortality;
Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them and found them worthy of himself.
As gold in the furnace, he proved them, and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself." (Wisdom 3: 4 - 6 NABRE)
God promises that His faithful ones shall abide with Him in love, "Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones, and his care is with the elect." (Wisdom 3: 9 NABRE)
Our hope for eternal life shall not disappoint. (Cf Romans 5: 5)
