This was a real eye opener and it made me consider what I felt death really meant and what my wishes were. .
I do believe that there is life after death, that is if you take the Lord God as your savior and live your life for him. I don't think that death should really be feared because in heaven you get to live a life with out pain or sadness and share the eternal happiness and love with God and whom ever you may have lost before.

I feel that death is only looking forward to a better life in heaven, with my brother.
