First off let me say if this is not the right place for this. I was unsure where to post this.
I was just wondering why people have a hard time letting go of loved ones or friends when they die. Why do people grieve so heavily?
I ask this question because most people believe in some kind of after life where everything is now all shit and giggles. There is no more pain, no more suffering, just all fluffy clouds and puppy dogs to go around. Ok so in short everything is supposed to make since and be better when you die if there is some sort of an after live. So why grieve the loss of someone you love if you know they are now going to another place?
It has never made any since to me. I have always looked at a grieving person who wanted said loved one back as selfish. Yes I know it is sad you will no longer be able to just pick up the phone and call the person, but shouldn't you be happy they are in theory happy and free of any kind of pain? Why would you wish them to still be full of pain because you can not stand to live with out them?
Oh and just for a little info. I have lost my grandma and aunt that I was fairly close too, but I did not cry I got drunk and gave them a good farewell. I did fell sad for a few days for my mom (it was her mother and sister, and for other reasons I am not willing to say.) But that is it. I look at death in a positive way. Yes we may not know what "Death" is per say, but how can it be something bad when it is natural.
IIMHO Death should not be feared or grieved.
Just a twisted question and outlook lol. Please let you know what you think and why.
