I never said it wasn't going to be hard I said "Death is hard no matter what."
All I'm saying is that believing in an afterlife is sometimes an easier way to get through these situations, kind of like a healing method.
When I speak to my mother about her mom's death, it's always "I know she's looking down on me, and I know I will see her in heaven." She's not an overly religious person. She goes to church probably once or twice a year. However, this thought has helped her through times.
My cousin who just died of Hepatitis turned to God a few years before he died, and so did all of his family. I just find it odd that THEN they found God. It helps heal the thoughts that someone is gone. I'm not saying it makes everything ok that they died, but it does help.
