Death and Mourning

Why do we mourn the dead? Why does the Bible says Blessed are they who mourn cause rheirs is the kingdom of God. Why are so many tears shed at funerals?

The dead have gone on to a better place. No more worries, no more pains and no more care about another day. It us who have been left behind, who have pick up the threads of life and move on.

Death is a temporary parting. It is a journey from this life into the next... A Eternal life. We all have to move on from this earthly life.

I know it is difficult not to shed tears or to miss the departed, cause there is a void that no one can fill and time may take a long time to heal it. But we need to be happy knowing that the departed is in a better place.

Rather than mourning the death of a loved one we celebrate the life that was given to us. Remember the ways they touched our lives and cherishing the memories that they gave us.
