Usually when a person died especially the one that is close to our heart, from our family, relatives, friends, and other people, we are grieving that at times we feel that a person is a big lost here on the world. We always feel sad about the person who died. Because as well we are reminiscing our memories with that person that is the reason we felt very sad. However is there a time that you don’t feel sad or grieving when a person died? I mean of course not because that person is not close to you or just an acquaintance but because you feel that he/she already fulfilled a lot of things or accomplished his/her goal in life. In the sense that you know that person was very happy and ready to go in heaven, or someone who didn’t suffered much before that person died. When do you feel sad when a person died even if you don’t know at all or when do you feel at least his/her sufferings are already done? Have you ever felt sad not because of the person who died but because of the one who is grieving? In my case there are really times that even I know that person like my grandmother and grandfather, I don’t usually cry or even felt sad because I know it for a fact that he/she had already accomplish his/her purpose in life and of course his/her sufferings are already gone so it is now turn to live in eternity. There are some case to case basis that I felt sad even for a person that I don’t know at all. Of course if that person died at early age that could be very sad it is because it is too early for that person to be gone and we usually think that he must accomplish or he has other purpose in life. If that is something we heard on TV regarding the crime of course we have sad reaction towards that victim who died and usually that is really heartbreaking. My friend even told me that usually when a person died we are not supposed to cry because it only means that he/she had done his/her hardship here on the world. I agree with him though I realize that it is not always a case especially if that is a victim who was killed.
