Sometimes remembering the lost can be hurtful, especially he or she is someone close to you.
Crying and grieving are normal.
When I was asked how was your Chinese New Year (CNY)? I paused and said, "This year was different, because it's not like previous years." One day before CNY reunion eldest aunt from my father's side passed away. As I recalled on new year's Sunday, someone asked, "How are you?" I broke to tears remembering the death of my cousin on last Christmas night. And recently, my uncle from mother's side passed away. Last Sunday, someone asked, how did your parents take it? I guess accepting it is the best thing to do.
Three of them left because of cancer. Therefore, take good care of your health people!
Knowing that death is certain, fear shall not fill you anymore. In Christian's faith, what's next after death is heaven is waiting for you to continue to serve and glorify God there together with Jesus Christ.
Buddhists say that after death there will be reincarnation - what you become in the "next life" depends on your deeds on earth.
I truly believe that, "Jesus Christ is the the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him (Jesus Christ)." - quoted from the bible John 14:6
And, "For by grace that you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." quoted from the bible Ephesians 2:8-10 (English Standard Version).
