Just mothers-in-law.

There's no real hard-and-fast view of the afterlife, except that there is one, in Judaism. But Hell, is generally not part of it. There's a purgatory, in some versions. And in some versions, those who are completely and irredeemably evil are blotted out entirely.

But the most common attitude I've seen is that it's fun to speculate what the afterlife is, but the point of living is to live and good life. Not to worry about the other-worldly rewards and punishments.
