The everlasting life I had in mind is nothing to do with sheol/hades. Sheol is just a pit, or covering, the common grave. They just represent the 'land of the dead' where there is no consciousness. As Daystar showed, consciousness crept into the equation along the way and then other bits were added: fire, torture etc. Things got out of hand it seems. Of course there is no such place. The life I had in mind is when you are resurrected by Jesus, brought back from the dead, but of course this is not looking likely....
