I would like to think we meet up with all our deceased relatives and friends but I dont believe we do. When we are gone we are gone thats it!

I would tend to agree with you here. We grow up making decisions based on the objective evidence before and what we can see, hear, etc. If the apple falls from the tree there is, in all probability, a physical force compelling it. There are a myriad of examples of evidentiary events that help us to understand the world and here's the important point, predict the behaviour of things in the future.
We know that when a plane attempts to take off that it will, in all probability, achieve flight because we understand the physics involved. We have the evidence and the understanding to predict the future of this plane.
We do not have any evidence to predict what we happen when we die so if we apply the evidence-based approach that has guided us through life, we must conclude that nothing will happen.
