For whatever reason, that thought scares me.

But I often hear family members say, "He suffered so much from his illness, now he is in a better place." So that means there is heaven, a better place where someone no longer has to suffer.

I also hear people who suffered injustice say, "Now he is receiving his reward in hell." So that means there is a place where justice will be executed in an event it wasn't executed on earth, during his lifetime.
