Actually its more like Viking purgatory. You are alive again but doomed to be reliving your past mistakes, You can die again and if you do you are revived again in purgatory. You are tormented until you make up for having been a bad Viking in life.

It's like Muslim Hell, where if you get killed by a Woman, you relive that shame for eternity. (Hence why ISIS fighters would flee from the all female Kudish units)
