I wouldn't call The Hereafter a commentary on death or the afterlife. It presents the possibility of an afterlife, but focuses on effects of death on the living.
Opening scene, life destroyed with one disasterous wave, an inescapable death. Imminent doom could be seen clearly and nothing could stop it.
Loneliness surrounds death. Those dealing with past near death experiences are on the outside of a community that thinks they are crazy. Those who know too much about death are alientated by what they know. Those who have lost loved ones are dealing with a gaping hole in a life that otherwise continues on the same.
Ultimately, three people carrying the weight of these problems find each other and bring a little peace and understanding to move forward.
