I was brought up a strict catholic from birth and turned away from it when I was 15. Now I am a full on Atheist and I have been for years but I do find it hard to deal with knowing I wont see my family members who have died again. Also when you are going through bad problems, is there something that helps you to deal with it? I really struggle not having anything to believe in that might make me feel better. I would never be religious again, all my logic tells me it's a load of tosh but what do you do to replace it in hard times?
That's why it's so important to value the people you care about now. It's sad knowing that once they die, they are gone, however if you cherish the moments you have, and cherish the memories after they leave, you are doing everything you can to keep them alive. Loved ones are still loved ones whether they are here or not, you can't talk, can't connect, however immortality is a side affect of good memories and stories passed down through generations. Remember what you had, keep it close to you, and the people you care about never die.
Good advice Sleeping, thanku x
