wow what a heavy topic for a Friday, and St Patricks Day to boot! Though it's been interesting to read the discussion so far.
All I know for sure is that it hurts a LOT when people you love die, nothing I've experienced so far has compared to this kind of loss.
It
can make it easier if you believe in life after death; to keep up the hope that at some point you may be reunited with those people who have meant something to you. For some it helps to believe that these dead loved ones are 'watching over you' as you go through the rest of your life.
To be honest, I'm not sure where I stand on all that - souls, heaven/hell, etc etc. Personally I'm just trying to enjoy the time I have with the people I care about WHILE I still HAVE life. Life can be extinguished at ANY point, you never can tell.
Who'd have thought there'd be such deep philosophical debate on GFY??!! Did I come to the right place?
