		<description>Life after death

People need to believe that there is something after death (why?). For certain (people,) it’s a need to continue living (Are they weak in thinking this way?). (From a long time ago, humanity)  ha(s) always strongly believe in Paradise (Provide a little backgroud here on how this has happened historically). It’s natural to have faith in existence when the body is gone for good, and (t)he soul continues to exist somewhere.

A common belief between religions throughout the world is that life exists after death. Obviously, it is easier to cope with diseases and the threat of death if the person believes there is something else. 

It is (common ground) that human mind plays a big role in the heal(ing) of an illness, or the (othedr way around), (in) its deterioration, so (so is a very informal word to be used in writing. It is similar to DAÍ in Portuguese) This belief can be very positive(, having) strong power in the cells and in the metabolism in general.  

Psychologists and psychiatries acknowledge that it decreases the fear of people who are going through distress(ful) situations. The power of imagination is really overwhelming. (You would need an example here to illustrate your point.)

Groups of people who live under strict regimen, and with life in danger most of time, like in a refugee field, might believe they’ll be free and safe after death. Sometimes it works as a relief  for them not to be insane, living in threatening conditions (Again, you would need a specific example to sustain your point here).

So (too informal), people should believe there is something after death, for faith reasons and also to increase their well-being, mentally and emotionally.
