It's natural to be a little worried about the unknown of death and the process of death, but I feel like believing that there's nothing after death or that there is some sort of evil after death is incredibly lonely and dark to think about.

One of the many reasons why I find the Christian faith so reassuring is the fact that those who are given to salvation are eventually going to be permitted eternal life in fully capable, restored bodies is a beautiful concept. Thinking about all the things that you can do in eternity that you never got to do during temporality is very amazing to think about, and it takes away some of the fear of that unknowable mystery of death.

It's certainly better than imagining nothingness or, worse, an eternity of self-inflicted torment brought on by one's own intentions to defy the designs of a Creator who knows better than we ever could.
