She is a Christian and looks forward to life after death.

 



You said earlier that your faith has helped you.

Yes.

Its helped you in how you live and it's helped you at the thoughts of the end of living might come.

Yes, I'm not afraid. Yes.

Can you explain a bit more about that?

Well, we came into this earth... I think that you're not wood or stone, you are going to die. Just some of us just go quick, and some have a longer suffering. I don't know why. But I think when you believe in God and believe that he loves you and he sent his only son Jesus Christ to die for you and there is a place that when you leave this earth you going to go there and live, and be happy, and no more pain, no more sorrow. I think you look forward to that and I'm not saying I'm not afraid of death, because I don't know what its like, but whatever it is when it come I just have to face it. 

Because if there is a God, then as he said 'there is no pain for a dead child of God'. There is life, you just go through another door. Just slip away. And I believe it. I believe that. If it not so, well bad luck to me! 

But you believe that we're going to be going on to another life?

I think so, I think so. There is life.
