Why does loss hurt us so...?

Losing someone is among the most painful experiences in a person's life. Not only is death difficult to understand, it also brings with it a range of overwhelming emotions. Everyone is affected by it at some point, and each person will deal with grief differently.

If there exists one experience that, throughout history and around the world, binds mankind together, it is death. Death is something we all must face -- no exercise or diet regimen, no meditation techniques, no amount of money can avoid it. It is the great equalizer.

The finality of death, coupled with the uncertainty of an afterlife, results in fear, for many. We see it all around us as we try so hard to stop the aging process.
Death does not end life , But instead opens the door , Or is the door to higher forms of life. The Earth is only a Temporary Abode for Man And Woman as a means of Redemption (Psalms 111: 9)

Why, would be the next question to ask. Why is there an ending?...why should so much hurt be involved?...why should one person watch another hurt as this constant rotation of life ever continues. I will have to admit that I am afraid of death. Not afraid of my own death but of death of loved ones around me. I am afraid to see them go...Would that be selfish to feel like that. to want to make the ones I love say goodbye and hope to see me again and not the other way around? all because Im afraid it will hurt so much...because I know how it feels. It is a constant battle between accepting that there is something bigger than what is tangible and no real purpose at all, well, a purpose to make a difference in an afterlife anyway. I do struggle with it everyday..

I constantly wonder where we go. Is it this far off land that is unreachable to beings that come from earth or any planet with life such as ours? Or is it a parallel world that you cross over into? What I do know...or believe I should say, is that there is a divine entity that is behind this unseen force. Though I have some difficulty with how it is all put together...it all comes down to one huge similarity. A higher power.
