Greetings...
I think your questions are good ones, things we should all be giving our deepest consideration to. However, your question, "if simply the love I have in my heart and the way I live my life is enough to carry my soul on into the next life... ", gets an answer simple enough. You are, we all are, energy of some sort, the first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. So if the body dies, no matter what kind of person you are ( + or - ), your life will continue in some form or another, call it the next life if you want (I see it as the next phase if you will, but still a continuation of what always has been). I can't say what happens after the great transition, but I do think it's good to be extremely aware of its inevitability and study the philosophies of the ancients, who are usually more adept at overstanding the realities of things which are now so overlooked. Bhuddists touch on this subject a great deal. We can reason more if you like...
