heaven is there as a promise, not as a "making death easier to deal with" people who have faith understand that it is a place where the soul goes after a life of service. works alone are dead without faith. either way, heaven is an unimaginable greatness that can only be described in adjectives and feeble attempts to inspire awe and wonder.
i like the way you put this man, you put a lot of thought into writing this, and some of it came out beautifuly, almost poetic.

i think you are absolutely right about the whole notion that the mind is unable to truly accept the end of existence.

but sadly I think death really is the end of ones personal existence, i dont attribute death as the eternal sleep, I concieve it as the end of my sentience, no more thought, feeling, emotion, no numbness, no coldness, no darkness, just pure and utter nothing. You fade to black and once the lights are out the darkness begins to fade, after which you are gone.
