       | I can't escape the irony of this statement

       | Reading through this article I had a hard time finding the
       | purpose of the book or really the article itself. From the
       | article I might remember that there are 'happy death
       | movement(s)', whatever that is since it isn't really explained.
       | 
       | Does it want to say that death is something normal and should be
       | talked about?
       | 
       | For me as a Christian death has been something that I have
       | thought about pretty much all my life. In different facets.
       | Christ died and rose from death, and in this way He conquered
       | death itself. As a Christian I am dead, buried and resurrected
       | with Christ as shown in my baptism. And when my body dies one
       | day, I enter into the kingdom of God and eternal life.
       | 
       | Still: Death sucks. Like my brother - who died a few months ago -
       | said: "It would be all good and fine if it wasn't for those
       | friggin feelings". With Christ though, there is hope in the
       | suffering. Because one glorious day: "He will wipe away every
       | tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more" [Revelation
       | 21:4].
