Life becomes comfortable and predictable, and we want it to continue that way.

/*We hate to say goodbye
~*~*~*Goodbyes are painful.
When we think we won't see someone for a long time, we know we will miss them.
It is the beauty of the life remembered that causes us pain.
knowing that that person will no longer be physically present.
It is not for the dead that most people weep, but it is for themselves.

To be reunited with loved ones.
*Conclusion:*
When we see the Way that Christ gives the victory over death, and how the sting is taken away, then we must admit that our Christian loved ones are in a better place.
We may miss them because of the beautiful life they lived, but the knowledge of a better place must be allowed to sweeten our sorrow.
