Death is the crux and pillar of religious belief. Spiritual beliefs are
mostly to either comfort or justify the notion of death. : - )

"She's in a much better place", Immortality of the soul, journeys to various
spirit lands, heaven, a long sleep, white light, kingdom come, Judgment Day,
Valhalla, Nirvana....

Not bad... I feel better now...

On to oblivion!
