I want a science based answer that can be proved..please. I'm sure there are also many people out there who have the same question
This thing is quite bothering me and it's quite hard to believe something that can't be proved, like anyone can make it up, right? (sorry if i hurt some of you but seriously..this is so confusing I need answer I'm not offending anyone)

Although I have my own personal beliefs about souls, there is no scientific proof that souls exist. HOWEVER, there is also no proof that they don't exist.
What happens to your soul once you die is explained or 'perceived' differently by different religions. Religion is about faith, and if you're attempting to use the scientific method to find the answer to a question related to existentialism, I'd say you're doing it wrong.
If you were to ask me specifically, I'd tell you to see if religious and spiritual practices/habits would ease your mind, as they do for me. However, if you only believe in what you can see, hear, feel, touch and taste, then I doubt any one can help solve your issue.
TL;DR
1. It is impossible to use the scientific method to answer existential questions.
2. No one can answer this question for you. You need to find your own answer in religion and spirituality. If you don't believe in such things, I fear your question will never be answered.
Soul is a Hebrew concept, a synonym for a living breathing creature. When the creature stops breathing, the soul is dead. Anybody who uses the word in any other context either doesn't know what they are talking about, or is trying to sell something you don't need. Except musicians. Musicians are cool, and they know exactly what they mean by "soul".
If you want to understand what will happen to the Soul after we die, perform a simple experiment. Take two balloons, one blue and one white; blow them up with air - suddenly the dead pieces of rubber become full of life and they bounce. Now deflate both the balloons. Where did the air go - the air of the blue balloon and air of the white balloon? Can you retrieve the air separately? You will say it's impossible, air of the balloons has merged with the air that is everywhere. So does our Soul. If you and I die at the same moment, the Soul departs. Do we deny it? We are sure, that's why we burnt the body or buried it. What happens to the Soul in you and me? They are not separate from each other, they merge with the Soul that is everywhere, with the Divine, the supreme Soul. Just like the law of Gravity, this cannot be proved, this has to be inferred. Just like we infer that gravity exists, this experiment will infer that the Soul departs at death and merges with the Soul that is everywhere.
