I have achieved peace perfectly well. I remember reading that ideas about loved ones still being somehow alive after death can actually stifle the grieving process.
Even if religion could help here, which it wouldn't, it would still be the equivalent of getting drunk to drown my problems.
Interesting. I was about to say "I wonder if the same would be reported to those who talk to the departed at their grave stone." but I remembered Christians are forbidden to have any kind of contact with "the dead" as well as the bible saying "the dead know nothing"
It all depends how you use alcohol, you can get drunk, or clean wounds and sterilize tools.
So it is with most things, it's benefit or detriment is in how you use it.
