You do not have to settle these questions quickly. People draw on different faiths, philosophies, personal experiences, and ways of understanding. Some feel certain; others remain curious or unsure. All of those positions deserve respect.
You might begin with a question rather than a conclusion: What helps me feel connected? What do I want to remember? Which ideas bring comfort, and which ones do not feel right for me? You are free to keep exploring and to change your mind.
Curiosity does not need to become certainty to be meaningful.
Take what is useful to you and leave what is not. There is no single belief or response required here.
