Christian theology preaches death is a gift, but that is one of, if not the, most difficult concepts for man to accept. (JennyHallu)

Actually, at first death was a curse. It only became a gift after Jesus's sacrifice gave humanity full access to God. As Paul said:
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Phil 1.21
Although yes, it's very difficult to accept. Only the knowledge of the Resurrection--that someone actually broke the curse of death--makes it all easier to take. If the Resurrection is a lie, we Christians look pretty pathetic.
My long post will come later. I promise. I'm halfway through
HoME V now.
