The novel i'm writing is called Heaven Falls. It's not about a town called that or anything but it's about three young adult friends, travelling to a beach party. On the way there they swerve, to avoid hitting a kid, and crash into the woods.
They wake up in this sort of heaven type of world where they face people from their past, past loves, deceased parents etc.. and come to terms with who they are. They also have the option to return back to their regular lives, or see how it plays out, as their bodies are in between death and survival.

It's about the meaning of life, and overcoming fears and anxieties people as a whole have in general.

This couldn't sound any more generic from the description but I don't wish to spoil anything, IDK if we get to read what each other has written but I'd be more than happy to share.

I have it under spiritual so far, but i'm unsure because the characters are all young adults, but it is more of an adult novel and about the fear of dying and where we go after, if anywhere at all.

Yes.

I think, it could be considered as YA. Since the main characters involved in this plot are young!

meanwhile, im interested by the plot. and waiting for the novel..!!

Yeah I think so since it seems like a coming of age type of story because these characters are young and they're learning through an experience which will make them much more mature, if they choose to live that is.
