I was grilled this week

Exactly, death is a gift because if we are in a state of grace, it brings us to eternal life, even if we have to go to Purgatory first. However, if I understand it correctly, Purgatory is an even better place than earth because while we do suffer in Purgatory, we also have the firm hope and knowledge that we will eventually be in Heaven with God for eternity.
Personally, I long for death. No, I am not suicidal. I would never kill myself because I know that to do so is a grave sin and could send me to Hell. However, I do wish that God would just go ahead and take my life. I am sick and tired of this immoral world and I long to be with God for eternity.

You’re absolutely right. That is why I don’t like coining them “poor souls”, they’re getting a free psychotherapy, God conducts that therapy, and they’re getting healed and purified more and more with each passing minute, their etenal blissful fate has been sealed, they couldn’t turn back even if they wanted to (I know, that’s a silly idea). St. Jean Vianney (saint parish priest of Ars) also talked about Purgatory along those lines, that we should focus our prayers on sinners, who risk ruining their eternity.
