“I don’t think humans would be so afraid of death if they could know for certain what heaven would be like and that they could go there.” LightGirl – this morning as we continue to process the terrible incident at Virginia Tech.
sonja, Very wise words from Lightgirl. We have found ourselves having to remember this in the situation of several friends facing terminal cancer. It is a sensitive balance offering sympathy and comfort, yet also trying to offer peace and hope. We are all terminal and death isn’t the end, yet the pain and suffering of those who grieve is very real.
Amen
True, but those are pretty big ‘if’s. So many of us disagree on these points, especially that last one. Some, to a violent degree.
