I mention my "teacher"quite a lot, but she was a minister who taught many folks during her time... and was my spiritual teacher 20 yrs.
She always advised, it's OURSELVES we cry for, when some one dies.
They are typically happy where they are, and it's ourselves who feel the loss-grief.
Of course some souls DO get lost, if the death is sudden-traumatic, but typically they seem quite content being where they are, and any guilt serves no good purpose, except possibly to learn from.

When my Mom died suddenly I felt nothing whatsoever, except compassion for my father.
This later seemed odd, but I was concerned about his sorrow-grief , and sensed no separation from her ... as her health was steadily declining, she suffered considerable pain... so death was a gift to her..
I'm convinced part of her stayed with me, for a time , to comfort my father.

When my wife died, however, I felt like my soul was ripped in two, and it was in fact.... as we were aspects of one soul. Yet that too was a blessing-release, as her health was poor, and we knew our time together was limited.
