I am sorry to hear that you've had a hard time in this life. You might consider that your presuppositions regarding the potential case for an afterlife might be unreliable, given that you would be analyzing the arguments for/against from a bit of a biased lens (as we all do). Being aware of this, consider that it might be best to attempt to account for your biases by making a resolution to conduct dispassionate research into the topic; not by what seems most favourable or likely based upon your intuitions and feelings, but by the logical arguments for/against the reality of such a thing.

Although you claim to not have an interest in knowing God (or whether or not His existence can be known), you should still begin the journey - if only because of the potential repercussions of coming to the wrong conclusion on such a topic. If a God could exist, and He could have revealed things to mankind, this means He could have revealed critical soteriological information - it is imperative that one attempts to discover whether or not this is the case. This would mean weighing the strongest arguments put forth by the most competent apologists for the spiritual-soteriological systems in the world, which is a quest which will push you to your very limits.

To do otherwise would be, frankly, illogical, given the stakes. Though the topic might not interest you, entering into the journey will compel you once you begin. After all, the door is opened to all who knock, and all who seek, find.
