Do you feel what I feel?

I wonder if I will ever stop crying from the tragedy in CT. Or if I will ever stop thinking of the stabbings in China. Or the children blown up daily in the middle east. Or all the injustice surrounding innocents all over the world

I don't think an eternal being or cosmic force thinks of death in the same way that we do. We mourn our loss because we are uncertain that we will ever see that person again. The loss of those times that we could have spent, the things that person could have done. I miss my grandma every day. I think about my older brother, who died when my mom fell down the stairs when she was pregnant... and my two little nieces who died at birth. It kills me that i didn't get to know them and be with them. But... I don't think they're in any pain where they are. I think they're probably pretty happy
