Life is a continuum. Dear Fred has left this life and emerged anew in the next life - restored to youth and vigour, free of pain and reunited with loved ones.
Take heart at that.
Human life is much like the changing of the seasons. Spring - summer - autumn - winter. And then, Spring again ...
The secret and the promise of spirit. No death, but rebirth in another guise.
"The meaning of sorrow and its beauty".... In the physical, one can see nothing positive. But in the spiritual, one learns empathy, compassion and understanding, and indeed stoicism and strength of spirit.
There is a purpose and reason for everything.

All this talk of religion, but it's how you live your life that is the all-important thing.
If you set out each day to do all the goodness and kindness that you can, and to do no harm to man or beast, then you are walking the highest path.
And when your time is up, if you can leave the earth a better place than you found it, then yours will have been a life well lived.
