Why do Christians cry at funerals? If they really believe they will see their loved ones again “in eternity”, why is there pain now? Is it that their bodies know something their minds refuse to believe? It seems natural that we grieve our losses. We can’t tell ourselves not to hurt, we just do. That is nature. The idea that humans should not hurt because life will go on forever after we die… that is the story told because the pain of real loss is too much to bear.
