This past year or so, I have lost family members, a friend, and two days ago a beloved pet.
One would wonder if happiness is appropriate in the face of such loss. I say, it is perfectly appropriate.
All religions that acknowledge afterlife, say that death is only a beginning, that great joy and experience lies beyond this mortal coil.
Funerals in the past were not just ceremony and full of grieving but celebrations of life.
When faced with the loss of a loved one, remember their lives, no matter how long or short, remember the love and joy they brought into this world, and remember that they will carry that love, joy, and experience onward.
I will miss you

If you know Jesus, death is like taking off your coat, and stepping into true life. This is just the pre-show. Love you!
