Is the afterlife even possible?

Before I ask the main question of this topic, I should explain exactly what "life" is. Life is our own existence based on our natural means of observation, or our five senses.

Sight: We can use our eyes to intake light from the objects around us. We can observe the world around us by seeing these objects.Your brain will then perceive this image.

Hearing: We can use our ears to pick up sound waves. We know that hearing is also controlled by our brain, because certain noises can directly effect our brain.

Touch: The nerves in your skin, all part of the nervous system, all link up to your spine which links to your brain. Your brain sends sensations to a spot on your body when it comes in contact with something.

Smell: We can observe the world around us by the aromas that certain objects send off. We know that smell has its roots in our brains, because certain smells can effect our brains directly.

Taste: From the tastebuds on our tounges, we can taste food. While it would seem somewhat useless, it is still a way to observe the world. Taste is controlled by our brain because certain foods or liquids can directly effect our brain.

Without these five senses, there really is no way to be sure if you are or aren't alive. All of these senses can be explained physically, through your eyes, ears, skin, nose, tounge, and ultimatly your brain.

But when you die, these things are taken away from you. You brain dies, which essentially kills everything in your whole body. Your blood stops, your nervous system dies, and eventually all of your senses are gone because your brain can no longer uphold them.

Any religious out there, please explain to me how an afterlife is even possible if we no longer have any of our senses to expierience this "afterlife" then?
