“Everyone has different beliefs about life and death, Heaven and Hell. I'm not concerned with fire and brimstone. No, I imagine Hell is worse. Hell is crippling emotional pain and mental stress; a body fatigued from loss. Hell isn't experiencing your own death over and over, but the death of your loved ones. I wouldn't imagine God or Satan so shallow that they would make Hell only a sadistic nightmare of physical torture. If Hell exists, it is a place where we are broken emotionally by witnessing the death of those we love.”
