I think the real question here is that would you sacrifice the thing you love most in this world for something that you truly believe in? You can change the variables here for love and belief as you want. There have been instances where people have made sacrifices in the name of Satan, abandoned families to achieve cosmic reality, some have done this in the name of science and the list can go on and on.
So again it all comes to one thing. One example that I would like to give here is the assassination of Hussain(A.S) the grand son of Prophet Mohammad(S.A.W). Hussain sacrificed his entire family including his 6 months old son for the protection of Islam in which he believed. Something to think about.
