The death of a loved one appears so tragic to us but when we realize that they are in a better place the pain slowly dissipates like the body they leave behind. We want them to be here with us to enjoy our moments of joy and comfort us during difficult times but understanding that they are working for a higher source now, can ease some of that pain. Our memories of good times can appear painful in the present but can give us comfort and gratefulness for having had the luck to experience them at all. It is difficult to deal with what could have been if G-D let them stay to complete there work here but knowing that they are home in peace should help us in the future.
