Going to that funeral this week made me think about a few things.
First the family members that attended, who btw were not dubs, were shedding tears. I did not see anyone else there crying even though the woman who died was a great friend and will really be missed.
Now since the dubs have the hope of the "resurrection" does that allieviate their grief that they should normally posess? Does that mean they are "happy" when someone dies because their wait is over? Or is it all a really big illusion that they hide themselves in---that it is ok that she died because she will be "resurrected" and therefore they never end up dealing with any kind of grief.
I have on occasion seen dubs cry at funerals but the majority are almost in a trance-like state when they speak of how wonderful it will be to see that person "in the new system". Just an observation.Anyone else have views on this.
Is this a good thing to have such hope or will it come back later on and cause some grief issues. I have always said that its not good to keep things bottled (although I have a hard time taking that advice) but if you are soo conditioned to have the same response what are future repercussions?
