What happened to Radha after Krishna died?

What happened to Radha after Krishna died? I will answer this question in two parts. First of all lord Krishna was not any normal human being, he is free from the bondage of birth and death. He just decend on earth to perform his pastime (lilas). Thus, Bhagvatam 10.46.39 Explains: He has no work to do in this world that would oblige Him to take birth in pure, impure or mixed species of life. Yet to enjoy His pastimes and deliver His saintly devotees, He manifests Himself. Thus, It is absolutely wrong to say that Krishna had died. After krishna being shot by jara, all the deities had appeared there, to have the last glimpse of Lord Krishna. And then after Sri Krishna disappeared from there. As clearly mentioned in n Bhagwatam canto 11 chapter 31. SB 11.31.5 “Seeing before Him Brahma, the grandfather of the universe, along with the other demigods, who are all His personal and powerful expansions, the Almighty Lord ( krishna) closed his lotus eyes, fixing His mind within Himself, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.” SB 11.31.6 “ Without employing the mystic agneyi meditation to burn up His transcendental body, which is the all-attractive resting place of all the worlds and the object of all contemplation and meditation, Lord Krsna entered into His own abode.” SB 11.31.8 “ Most of the demigods and other higher beings led by Brahma could not see Lord Krsna as He was entering His own abode, since He did not reveal His movements. But some of them did catch sight of Him, and they were extremely amazed.” Now comes to the second part, what happened to Radha after krishna left the earth ? Radha krishna are immortal. They were there before the creation & will remain till the end of the universe. They represent the symbol of sublime & divine love. Radha Krishna are one soul completely merged with each another. So, after krishna left the earth, Radha along with all braj people went back to their eternal abode Golok dham. As per Hare krishna sampradaya people and scriptures like Garg samhita, Ashwamegh khand, chapter 60:- After Krishna's disappearance from Prabhas he appeared in vraj, there Krishna spoke to the residents of braj that the time has come to go back to our dham, as Kaliyuga is going to come soon. So with all braj people including Radha, yashoda, Nandbaba, kirtida, Vrishbhanu, krishna went back to Goloka. Garg samhita comes under pancharatra agamas, written by Garg rishi kulguru of lord Krishna, soon after Krishna the earth. And pancharatras were clearly mentioned in Mahabharata and vedas. Garg samhita, Ashwamegh khand, Chapter 60
