I agree, but that's not what I asked you. In fact, death to a Christian who is certain should be what one desires sooner than later. Early Christians suffered in arenas imitating Christ. We have "evolved" since then. St. Peter is said to have been "honored" to have the opportunity to die on the cross (upside down). The point is: even though we "know" we are saved, and that heaven is eternal bliss, none of us prays that God take our loved ones. Let's stop pretending that we feel no loss and no remorse.
Kosta, there is a difference for me between having joy and being happy. Of course, I would and have mourned the loss of a loved one but not without hope. It is the hope that gives joy in the suffering.
