A Non-Religious Person's Meaning in Life and Death

[robvalue]

That's a great attitude to have.

I remember hearing that religious fantasies about afterlives can stifle the grieving process and prevent people properly coming to terms with the loss of a loved one.

I've never understood the whole "meaning" argument. They seem to have it entirely backwards. If someone thinks this life is all there is, they are more likely to value it than someone who thinks it's just a relatively short introduction to the "real" life.
