I think it's about dying and "crossing the last line." It is someone discovering the afterlife. It was very different from what she expected/was taught to believe ("when every step I took in faith betrayed me..."). At the same time, it is something wonderful and peaceful. She realizes that everything that happened in her life "didn't mean much," and doesn't matter here.

I first paid attention to this song's lyrics throughout my mother's terminal illness and death, so maybe it's only natural I connected it with the notion of death and dying rather than the end of a relationship.

And to you're commet about all religions just guessing. Not true. A couple religions have descriptions of their heavens from their gods. In Christianity, Jesus tells them about Heaven. And in Buddhism, Buddha tells them about Heaven.
