I don't believe in Heaven or Hell. I believe we all go to the same place. (That can be very helpful when someone commits suicide, or did something that others felt was "wrong"). I also believe that we are able to take what we learned in this life and help others. It would be difficult for me to think that we went through all the pain and strife (and happiness, for that matter) all for naught. And last but certainly not least, I believe in reincarnation.
No one goes to a bad place, we put our life lessons to good use, and we get to try it again until we get it right. That's pretty damn comforting to me.

To die is the great equalizer. We are at death all the same.
An Amish Elder said, after the Amish school shooting, "Since we believe in the hereafter, the dead are better off then the living." I agree with that.
My belief system, as a Christian, offers hope, grace, redemption, and salvation. And a better place.

When my mum died when I was 14 it was only having a belief in God that sustained me. I had problems with the church I was in as he told me "God had a greater need to have her" but this I couldnt accept as it didnt fit in with the kind of God of the Bible that I knew. So I left that church to seek the truth, and I found it 20 years later when someone knocked on my door. They have answered all my questions because now I know she is only sleeping in death and I will see her again.

Mine is a great comfort because:
To be absent from the body (the flesh dies) is to be with the Lord. I know, if they are saved, they are in a far better place than I am.

My beliefs don't help me cope, but at least I don't have beliefs making things worse. The fear of wondering if a loved one is in hell torments many believers.

I have buried my entire family, Mother, Father and Brother.
My Brother was the only one that was difficult as I was eight years old at the time, he was 26.
My parents lived full lives and reached a fairly old age.
Suffering was over, troubles and heartache.
A better place awaited them.

I had to watch my 18-year-old son die of cancer. It was painful for me -- but only because it was painful for him and I, of course, would miss him (as any loving parent would). But, I am thankful that my Biblical knowledge and faith in who God is allowed me not to have to question God in all of this. I know that when my son died, he merely went to sleep in Jesus (until the Resurrection) and now knows nothing about the passage of time -- either on this earth, or in Heaven, or in that non-existent place called "hell."

I can cry and wail for as long as I want but the truth is they'll be reborn sooner or later and I just need the resolve to find they're new form.
