Every one of us has experienced the pain of death in our lives, in one way or another.

Death is something that covers one in the darkness of despair and creates a shadow of pain that never seems to leave our side.

Yet, is death really as dark and scary as we make it?

Death is indeed filled with pain. In death we part from someone we love, and must learn to live life without them at our side.

Yet, death is the door to the most beautiful life... eternal life.

Indeed, every joy here on earth is nothing compared to the heavenly joy that awaits all of us.

When we lose a loved one, we don't truly lose them. They are simply waiting for us in a perfect paradise. A paradise where they are never sad, angry, scared, hungry, or lonely.

A quote from William Penn states: "They that love beyond the world can not be separated by it. For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity. Death can not kill what never dies."

Although the pain seems at times too hard to bear, it is important to never forget that one day you will be in the arms of your loved one, hugging and rejoicing in the perfect paradise of eternity. Death is indeed a "see you later."
