Often times you'll hear loss parents talk about how "they can't wait to see their child in heaven", or that "they'll be together in death".
I realize this is a comfort for those who believe in an after life.
For me it comes across as worrisome. I worry about these women. These are generally the women who decide to take their own lives to "reunite" with their lost child(ren).
One of the many reason's I'm so put of from religion is the idea of an afterlife. I truly believe that this is all we have, but to focus so much on death... it seems morbid.
In the thousands of years before I lived I was just random mass in the universe. It didn't hurt, it was just nothing. I find the thought that this is what happens after I die extremely comforting. No judgement, no pain if I'm not good enough, no reuniting with people I might not want to reunite with...
There are too many conflicting ideas about who gets into "heaven" and those who are doomed to "purgatory" or "hell".
If meeting your loved ones in death is what makes you feel better than fine, but it makes me concerned for you. I don't want any more of my dear loss moms to take their lives to "be with their child sooner".
This is all we get. This life right here. Live it to your best, live it without regrets. Its no more than a blink of an eye.
