So many people see in death nothing but a cruel separation from loved ones. In death there is certainly the very real pain and sorrow of physical separation.

I personally feel that it is equally true that our loved ones remain with us.

(This is the way I coped with their deaths)

I did not want to feel they just went off to a dark & distant place. I feel they simply continue into external life. We don’t see them because we are still in the darkness of this world.

I have often reflected upon this and found it to be the greatest and surest comfort in time of my mourning. Having parents for so long makes you secretly hope that life will make an exception for you. Then it happens…
