Both heaven and reincarnation are fine ideas. But there's no absolute proof.
The fact is this may be the only life you'll ever have so you should really explore the value of being as happy as possible in each new, unfolding moment.
Especially in U.S. society people are stricken with the sad illness of "I'll be happy when..." Folks believe they'll experience happiness when they get the new job, the bigger house, the ideal mate, or whatever. The problem, of course, is that when this new state is attained a brand new carrot is dangled in front of you be the unconscious mind and the whole process begins anew.
The greatest spiritual advice anyone can give or receive is quite simple:
Let go of future desires and past regrets and simply be content right now.
Embrace this simple idea. Even if you only get a few seconds of peace, what a gift that is!
In each new moment a new opportunity arises to let go of your worries and just be happy right now. Grab hold of this notion, feel into it, and ride it our for as long as possible.
If the bliss fades you can always start again. And eventually you'll look up to realize you've been happy for some time because your internal set point has shifted.
