Denial (psychological)
Denial consists of the refusal to accept a past or present reality and is most commonly employed to protect the host from their own negative traits; to protect them from the repeated memories of the negative actions of another or to avoid recognising their own guilt for past actions, thoughts or feelings.
It is a self defence mechanism employed by aspects of the subconscious mind in an attempt to protect emotional and psychological wellbeing.
Denial can be a scary and very sad thing to witness in someone that you love or care about; it is generally very difficult to help someone see the truth and especially for them to truly believe and accept that reality on a long term basis.
People deny responsibility every day for a number of things; but denial itself goes far deeper into the psyche than that. While people in denial generally still have the seed of truth still buried within their heads, they generally cannot believe that it is the truth even when confronted with it. This is due to the mind in effect rewriting or superimposing a more acceptable reality over the original memory.
Even with abject proof of an events occurrence, someone in denial is highly unlikely to fully accept the particular reality that their mind has decided they cannot cope with. They are more likely in that instance to use projection or minimisation or to continue or revert back to being in full blown denial.

Get the Vial of Denial mug.Afterlife Denial, sometimes reffered as Afterlife Denialism, is the act of denying the idea or the existence of afterlife, also including extraphysical denial (act of denying the idea or the existence of extraphysics, nonphysics and metaphysics), spiritual denial (act of denying the idea or the existence of souls, spirits and spirituality), consciousness denial (act of denying the idea or the existence of consciousness or mind), supernatural denial (act of denying the idea or the existence of the supernatural or extranatural), extramatter denial (act of denying the idea or existence of extramatter, extramaterial, immaterial or of anything beyond matter) and multiverse denial (act of denying the idea or the existence of multiverses and multidimensions). Afterlife denial always use of naturalist, scientistic, physicalist, positivist and materialist arguments for deny afterlife, majority of those arguments being extremely materialist and scientistic.
"Afterlife Denial is really common nowadays, and even sadder to know that there are "spiritual" and "astral" groups and communities who support this idea such as all other kinds of denialism that accompany afterlife denial, being unable to see beyond materialism, physicalism and scientism."
