Wormwood's patient died in a war and Screwtape was very angry. He complained that the patient got out too easily. He said that the sooner people die and the quicker, the worse it is for the devils. The person then has less time to think about dying and does not blame God or think that it isn't fair.
He said that when a person dies they see God and the angels and no longer have fear and doubt. Also when they get to heaven they wouldn't want to give it up for any pleasure they could have on earth.
We should think of death not as something really scary, but as the path that brings us Christians to heaven.
