    The older I get, the less death disturbs me. In fact, I have a lot of emotional peace when the person who was really sick and suffering is dead because I know that are resting in peace.

    Everyone goes to "hell" but that is simply the name for the "grave". All the crying in the world isn't going to change the situation, the person is dead until the time God restores them to life.

    If you are upset or angry for the death of a loved one, that is just your particular response and in no way changes the situation for the deceased.

    Response for Shultz-
    Hellfire—All-Consuming?
    Could it be that the fire of hell is symbolic of all-consuming, or thorough, destruction? Separating fire from Hades, or hell, the Scriptures say: "Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire." "The lake" mentioned here is symbolic, since death and hell (Hades) that are thrown into it cannot literally be burned. "This [lake of fire] means the second death"—death from which there is no hope of coming back to life.—Revelation 20:14.

    Well, that would mean that EVERYONE who knew the person would have to transition to a certain phase of grief at the same time, in order to correctly indicate the location of the deceased. Right?

    I think it is far more likely that your level of emotional peace with the death of a loved one corresponds to your emotional health overall, the nature of your relationship, the circumstances surrounding the death, and the time that has passed.

    How the living react to the death of their loved ones does not affect whether the loved one goes to heaven or hell. It is all a part of the grieving process. You can be mad as all heck that the person died and they can be in Heaven rejoicing with God and Jesus. Or you can be happy they are at rest and they could be suffering in hell. Emotions of the living don't affect the dead. They only affect the living.

    I believe that is grief .. as none of us.. any of us .. believers or not.. actually know who will live in the Kingdom Of Heaven or who will not.
    Sometimes people are just not ready to let go.. or have not found a way to deal with loss of life and it is harder for them.. It was hard for me at one point. Very hard. I have come to find peace in it as this world is not where I would want my loved one to dwell forever.

    Heaven and Hell do exist... unless you want to live life in absence from the beautiful gift of hope. People cry when they are in pain because, pain hurts... That is what defines the emotion and essence behind pain: hurt. And the only way to have "situation resolved" when a loved one dies is to be honest with how you feel about the persons death. I think if you are at peace with their death or if you are upset (angry) about a persons death, that has to do with you not the dead persons eternal position. If you try to explaine something as complicated as death away with a broad sweeping absolute like "heaven and hell do not exist. People cry with they are in pain and can't hanle it. Situation resolved," where have you gotten? Nowhere. It is self defeating, arrogent, and hopeless. Respect truth and hope and pursue an understanding of death and eternity from a clean slate. Be honest with yourself and God... then and only then will death begin to make sense. --- Overall, death is difficult and we need to be there for eachother when it happens.

    No, it means that you made your peace with the person's passing and that your past the anger stage of grief and on to acceptance.
