What could be more glorious than to experience the wonders of heaven which put to shame even the most extravagent pleasures of the material world?

Bump to that. I have never understood the arguments provided myself. As a Christian, I know where I'm going. I don't want family sitting around a bed watching me and I would never put them through that. You are not a heartless lover of death. But rather you loved your wife strongly enough to understand. My condolences to you and your family

Thank you bb. I agree I could never put my boys through that kind of experience. It seems like the closest one could come to Hell on Earth. The best leavetaking, for me, would be one like Stonewall's.
