If people are in a better place when they die, why are we so sad when they go?

Answer by  tamarawilhite (17883)

Love is pleasure at the presence of someone. Grief is pain at the absence. While they may be in a better place, we grieve because they are not with us.

This is due to our attachment and love for a person which makes us sad when he or she dies.
