The hope of faith.

A nurse in a hospice described the results of faith evident at the bedside of dying patients. "I see a difference in how families with faith handle death. They mourn, of course, and cry; but they also hug each other and pray and sing hymns. There's less terror. For those without faith, death is final; it ends everything. They stand around and talk about the past. Christians remind each other there will also be a future."
