[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As with God, if the afterlife didn't exist, then we would create it.  It's a helpful construct for our mental well-being.

As I get older there have been many occasions when [b]I have seen the grieving comforted by the existence of an afterlife;[/b] the recently deceased has been healed of their deadly affliction and is now whole, that a lonely widower has been reunited with their life-long love, that a 86 year old mother of seven can finally hold her child who died six decades earlier on the day of its birth.

I imagine that the afterlife, if it exists, is beyond our comprehension. But who knows? I don't.[/quote]

I think you mean by the [i]belief[/i] in the existence of an afterlife.  It certainly is a nice thought, in the sadness accompanying a death, to imagine something good coming out of it. [/quote]

Not what I meant at all. "Something good coming out of it" is when I see painful suffering end at that moment of death. Words fail me in describing the journey that comes in the months and years down the road when our thoughts dwell on the departed. There's more there but I don't think I could convince you of it.
