How the hell did Blood on his Soul survive being mulched to a pulp
Arjan:
As far as I can see Murphy is just dead. We have been informed about her afterlife, that is all.

I agree and the bit about her not returning till she has passed out of all living memory, is a kindness in my opinion to those who ever loved her. Sorry but if she spends a couple of centuries in Valhalla among the chosen warriors, she will not be the woman Harry remembers, not even remotely. I think it is more of the hope of her fans than the reality that Jim is going to write. And yeah, by the time he gets around to writing her return, a lot of us will be dead or so old, she will have passed from our memory.
Actually I think Thomas has a better chance of returning to Harry as still his brother than Murphy does, his lover. Poor Harry, he got a one, two gut punch, is it any wonder that he lost it for a moment?

I even think I know narrative purpose behind it. Remember the sword can only act against evil, not just rage. And when it burned him it smelled of brimstone.

I think Lucifer put his finger on the scale there, to turn Harry to the dark side. It isn’t the first time and it is one of the reasons the Knights were there. Rudy was the devil’s tool. Harry is immune to Outsider influence, but Lucifer is the ultimate Insider. Thinking about it Listen is just too competent to have overlooked Mouse and check for enchantments, which means he didn’t ultimately want the Titan to win, but perhaps a dark side Harry to gain the Eye? Thrown out of the White Council at just the right time to be recruited to the Circle? With Mab and the Accords destroyed?

Either Murphy is Murphy or she's a monster of Vadderung's creation. It would do my heart good to know that my mother was somewhere swilling beer with someone even if I was forbidden to see her. Which is different then not knowing and having hope replace certain knowledge.
@Conspiracy Theorist
Whatever he is his mother had a hand in it. It didn't happen by accident. That's lore.

No, Murphy is dead, she isn't even getting the reward that her Catholic Faith promised her. I wouldn't call her a monster either, she is now one of Odin's warriors. You think the Einenjharen that we have met didn't have hope or certain knowledge at one time? That they didn't have people that they loved or had values important to them? That they fought for? They did, just like Murphy, but now their employer is Odin, farmed out to Marcone, they still owe their alliance to Odin.
