This is close to the point.  When you die, you won't care if anyone is sad at funeral.  You'll be dead.  But while you're alive, you do care.

You care about something you know won't matter when it comes.  

There's something paradoxical about it, no?

Well I want them to have a good life whether I'm there or not. Of course it cannot sadden me when I'm dead, but while I'm alive, I very much value the well being of my loved ones, so I still want them to move on after my death even if I won't know about it at that point. It's not all about me.
