...The Netherworld is a bit different.More than 95% of souls go through here at least twice,often more than that.Basically it is not a place of reward or suffering,but a place where souls can be cleansed of one life's burdens (most of them anyways), and prepared for the next life they need to undergo in order to continue their path.Grim reapers, as far as I can tell, are basically aspects of death,limited ones at that. Limited,at least,in what they can actually do.They are not able to actually kill anyone or harm anyone directly.Also,they work with "psychopomps," which are usually describing as certain types of animals,such as cats,crows,ravens,etc. Even once a soul arrives in the netherworld,the worst that will happen is the complete loss of most sensation.(To me though,it sounds like a very relaxing vacation.) Other than that,there is a noticeable loss of information from life due to the sudden transition from Incarnation (I.E:life) to Discarnation (I.E:death.)
Hopefully,this will help,it's a bit long but then there is a lot of information on the subject that could be useful.
