So I am not religious. As much as I’d like to believe I’ll meet my mum again to give me some comfort, I just don’t believe that’s how it works. Anyone else also not religious - how do you come to terms with that your only time together has gone and you’ll
never be together again? That is eating me up and makes me unbearably sad.
I am jealous of people who are religious, it must be a great comfort for those who are no matter what they call their god.
My parents sent me to sunday school and ,to be honest, I always thought it all to be far fetched.
When Joan,my wife,died,I tried to find an answer for all of the meaning of life and death questions I had in the midst of my grief.
I found no answers, my wife’s favourite saying used to be “it is what it is” when confronted by a unsolvable question.
I think we might find more comfort in some religion other than our own western ones, Buddhist type ones,for instance, our religions seem to have just brushed death and coping with bereavement under the carpet.
I hope you find some peace.
