Often on the web is the word "survivor" used, or "I'm a survivor."
Broken bones or a broken heart, fights, losses, sickness, or many other troubles beyond description...all these things can be survived by any person as long as there is a will to live. One can get through it all, no matter what the situation, no matter what it is one may have to deal with.
So from a logical viewpoint, if there is absolutely nothing one cannot endure throughout life, then certainly one must continue to go on after death.
Krishna confirms this in His Bhagavad- Gita, "As the embodied soul continuously passes in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change." (Bg 7.14)
It is a matter of proper identity as spirit soul rather than the temporary body. One survives even death.
"The materialistic man of the modern age will argue that life, or part of it, is never meant for discussion of theosophical or theological arguments. Life is meant for the maximum duration of existence for eating, drinking, sexual intercourse, making merry and enjoying life. The modern man wants to live forever by the advancement of material science, and there are many foolish theories for prolonging life to the maximum duration. But the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam affirms that life is not meant for so-called economic development or advancement of materialistic science for the hedonistic philosophy of eating, mating, drinking and merrymaking. Life is solely meant for tapasya, for purifying existence so that one may enter into eternal life just after the end of the human form of life." - SB 2.3.18p
