Prayer in Sickness

“Consequently, death is not annihilation, it is not the beginning of a new painful existence, it is the beginning of a new, better life, it is a change from sadness to sweetness, according to the expression of church prayer. If so, then one should not grieve about the approaching death: for a believing Christian, this is a transition to a better life, this is the beginning of his blessedness with Christ.
