It's more a case of not wanting to think. Most Christians are self limiting when it comes to the unknown. I was a Hospice worker in Calfornia and Arizona and the elderly terminals seldom were that religious. Many refused a cleric at the end so I pitched and they died laughing. Most were so damn sick they didn't care where they went. It was the young terminals that needed spiritual guidance and I would step away those last hours. I emotionally couldn't take their loss. I had a young AIDs patient who was also my neighbor. The sun went out in my life for a long time when he died. I got a sample of what it must be like to lose a son.

But this is supposed to be happy thread.....
