Guys, they weren't dead the whole time.
Christian says something along the lines of "Your time on the island was the most important part of your lives". Really doesn't mean anything if they were already dead.
In the flash sideways, they are all dead, and at the church meet up, they all were there to "let go" (i.e. stop existing in the make believe flash sideways timeline).
Eloise Hawking knows this, which is why she doesn't want Desmond to take her son (Daniel) with them. Eloise killed Daniel in the real timeline, and so enjoys the make believe world where he can still be alive with her. She hasn't let go yet.
