Popular culture's afterlife fiction often presents the afterlife as a place of great adventure or a continuation of life in a different form. We see this in books, movies, and TV shows. However, when it comes to afterlife science fact, it's a different story. Science fact focuses on the physical aspects of death and what happens to the body and the brain. There's no scientific basis currently for the elaborate afterlife scenarios in fiction. So, the contrast is that fiction is all about imagination, while science fact is about what can be objectively determined about death and what might follow, which currently is not much in terms of an afterlife.
Yes, there are. 'The Lovely Bones' by Alice Sebold is one such book. It tells the story of a girl who watches from the afterlife as her family and friends deal with her murder. It's a poignant exploration of grief, love, and the idea of an afterlife.
