No, I rejoice if they are a believer because they will be with Jesus in Heaven. It hurts if they are family or friends who are non believers and I know that I will never see them in Heaven when I die.

Yes, it does. I often feel sadness over people dying, people I don't even know...ones I read about or hear about on the news...I'm way emotional...But when my grandmother died 3 years ago I was filled with relief for her and actually, joy...not that she was no longer here, but I know where she went and I'm happy knowing she is at rest and peaceful now. I was happy thinking of her walking again....no pain, no hurt. I even had a hard time crying when she passed...the tears eventually came, but didn't last long.

I've lost many loved ones and close friends in my life. Some of those experiences were excruciating and ripped my heart right out of my chest. Some of them were miraculous and made me cry from joy.
Whatever pain we experience at anothers death should be due to our own loss, and this is a very valid experience. However, the person that has died has moved out of the trials of this world and closer to the indescribable joy and unfathomable Love of the Creator, and for them we should be happy.

Perhaps "hurt" is not the right word. The emotion surrounding most deaths in the United States is SORROW. The word sorrow in itself conjures up feelings of sadness and hopelessness. However, in some cultures death is celebrated. The persons live and accomplishments are celebrated and the "death" is merely another accomplishment.

It would not easily count number what occurs once you die. The Universe made you and also you're a brilliant (and tiny) part of its abject elegance. death is what makes existence effectual. perhaps in case you probably did something that makes a favorable effect on the international each day, you'll sense better. even as you heavily isn't the following perpetually, human beings will nonetheless ought to stay the following. contained in the words of John Lennon- "turn off your concepts, relax and glide downstream"

I get very emotional, and break down a little even if I didn't know the person. I guess I am just sensitive when it comes to that or maybe some people today are to self absorbed to take notice of what's going on around them.

You should feel relief that they are out of pain and with Heavenly Father. The hurt you may feel is totally your own because you miss that person in your life. Conversely if you have seen death and gore of someone you don't know, your soul cries out in pain and revulsion for the lack of humanity/caring. I have taken care of a few people in the nursing home who have died in my arms. While I miss the person, its a blessing for them to go and finally be out of pain. The only hurt is for those who continue on in this world missing those who have gone on before us. Funerals are for the living..... I hope this helps

It does for me. But i think believers in an afterlife don't take it as seriously as i do as an atheist.

Yes, I sometimes get a physical pain from trying to contain my greif over someone's death. I've shed a couple tears for Steve Irwin, Christopher Reeve, and a few other celebrities I've never met, but loved their work.
