Afterlifetime

/ˌæf.tərˈlaɪf.taɪm/ noun

Definition

Time that extends beyond one's lifespan, or a metaphorical continuation in memory, legacy, or the afterlife.

Etymology

Compound of 'after' (Old English æfter), 'life' (Old English lif), and 'time' (Old English tīma). This is a modern compound referring to existence beyond biological life.

Kelly Says

The concept of 'afterlifetime' appears in both religious contexts (eternal life) and secular ones (how your influence continues after death)—from mummification in Egypt to modern social media immortality, humans have always tried to transcend mortality!
