Wow interesting topic!! I can understand what Slice is getting at and Life your point is a great counter to what he posted!!

I think it is wonderful Angel that you have such a positive outlook on death. It is always hard to lose the essence of someone in the physical body but truly that essence remains with us in our mind and heart. In my opinion, being able to let go of someone who has passed and finding joy for their continued growth spiritually is a true gift.
