He hasn't told me how she died yet, he is hysterical right now and I don't know if I should ditch work to see if he's alright. What makes this even more difficult is that he's somewhat a believer in the supernatural, at least the "spiritual" side of things and he knows I'm an atheist so I don't really want to say what I think at the moment because I know he will ask me these type of philosophical questions. Anyway, maybe there is a way I can talk to him about this later without it making him feel even worse, maybe just focus on the good times he had with his mom. I haven't had to deal with death very much in my life, so it's a foreign feeling to me to know someone pretty well and they're gone the next day. How would you guys deal with this? just curious.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
