I don't know what happens after I die; but here's what I will do. After my demise, I will send you a picture postcard of the afterlife. Watch your mailbox, kids!

Those who are born again through Jesus Christ the Saviour do. Everyone who is an unbeliever or has no relationship with God through His Son, will be judged and sent to the Lake of Fire for eternal torment.
That's why Jesus Christ died for us on the cross of Calvary, in order to PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING TO ANYONE, because it's not God's will that anyone perish but that ALL should come to repentance.
But we are all given a free will to either choose God or the Devil. There are only two kingdoms in this world. If you are not in God's kingdom and on the narrow way to eternal life with Him for eternity, then you are in Satan's kingdom of darkness - on the BROAD WAY TO DESTRUCTION (Matthew 7:13 & 14) and Hell's fire and torment will be your eternal destiny.
Only you yourself can CHANGE your destiny.
If you turn to Jesus Christ the only Saviour, then God will deliver you OUT OF Satan's kingdom of darkness and translate you INTO the kingdom of the Son of His love. (Colossians 1:13), and take you OFF the broad and wide road to DESTRUCTION and plant you onto the NARROW, DIFFICULT way to eternal life in heaven with Him.
The choice is entirely ours.
God won't force you either way. Seek the Lord while He may be found and call upon Him while He is near, because nobody knows how much time we have left. Soe folks will die of old age some from disease, some from accidents, but we will all die and it's important that you worship God through Jesus Christ whilst you still live in this world.
It's too late after you are dead. Then your destiny is already set for Hell
Don't forget, there is no other Saviour, for there is no other name under heaven, given amongst men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12. It's Jesus Christ - the One who died for us all that our sins could be forgiven and we could receive eternal life with Him, in heaven

King James Version Bible 1885
Revelation Chapter 20
11. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Daniel Chapter 12
2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.

No, we go to Paradise to be perfected and await the resurrections and final judgment. Heaven comes only after the final judgment.

“No man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man”? John 3:13
When Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a teacher in Israel, Jesus had not yet gone back to heaven. Of course, no other human had died and ascended to the spirit realm, to heaven.
And the apostle Peter explained that even faithful King David had died and was still in his tomb; David did not ascend into heaven. Acts 2:29, 34
There was a reason why those who died before Jesus, such as David, John the Baptist, and other men of faith, did not go to heaven. They died before Jesus inaugurated the way or possibility for humans to be resurrected to heavenly life.
Who will be included in the group that Paul called “the unrighteous”? They are the billions of humans who have lived and died, many without ever having an opportunity to understand and apply Bible truth. After their resurrection, they will be able to come to know and appreciate Jehovah and Jesus. John 17:3
Paul said that Jesus was “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep in death.” In what sense was Jesus first? He was the first person to be raised to life as a spirit being and the first one from mankind to ascend to heaven. 1 Cor. 15:20; Acts 26:23
