where you will be reunited with all of your loved ones, why do you mourn when people die? Shouldn't you throw a party and say "See you in a few years!"

I think its b/c you don't have as much faith in afterlife as you like to pretend. And I'm always right, so there.

I don't mourn when people die!!!!! I KNOW that I will see them in heaven one day (assuming they had accepted Christ as their personal Lord and Savior)!

Some mourn because it may not be just a "few years". Wouldn't you miss someone who was going away and you wouldn't be able to see them for a few years. Or would you "throw a party"? Sometimes I mourn over the loss of somone because I don't know if they are a true believer. I don't know if they went to Heaven. What if it were your grandfather and you were 10 at the time of his passing. You think you'd see him in a "Few years"? What if you were too young at the time to understand, understand why he had to go. Missed him so much you just couldn't help but cry. Of course you're going to mourn their loss but you can rejoice knowing you'll see them one day. I will pray for you, pray that God saves you. God bless you, take care.

The soul is different from the body, the soul is eternal the body is temporary. Everything in relation with this present body is finished when the soul leaves the body(when we die), including family relationship. This body is exactly like one of the bodies which we always see in dreams. During our dream of sleep, we create so many bodies according to mental creation, but when we wake up, we forget them all.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead.
The body is born and is destined to be vanquished today or tomorrow; therefore the body is not as important as the soul. One who knows this is actually learned, and for him there is no cause for lamentation, regardless of the condition of the material body.

We mourn because we will miss them. A party is a good idea if that helps you cope with that loss. Even though I know that one day I will reunite with loved ones who have passed I still need to adjust to the change in my life of no longer having them with me now. We miss people when we know they will be gone for a short time due to various reasons - vacation, school or business trip.When they leave because of death it is permanent and unchanging...a time of adjustment.

I have a peace about many of my loved ones who have died. But I still mourn their absence from me. From being able to hold their hands, to share a joke, or even to be bitched at (my grandma! LOL). I am comforted to know I will see many of them again. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died, and He knew He would be raising him from the dead soon. Its human of us to miss our loved ones. Heck, I cried when my husband and I were separated for a month because of my job. the first week was fun, the second boring, the third I ached for him, etc. Now, my Irish relatives do throw a party, and not all of them are Christian. :)

My mom will not be my mom in heaven, but we will reunite.
When someone dies it hurts, because you will not see that person for some time. Inside I will be happy that I will see them in heaven. Jesus said, let the dead burry the dead. I do mourn a death and cry over it, but its a diferent kind of cry.

While we mourn the loss of their fellowship, here on earth, we are comforted by the assurance we will meet again.
I wouldn't be opposed to a party when I go but then I won't be calling the shots....

Because I thought that my life would include that person and they are not there. They won't be at my graduations. They won't be at my wedding. I can't call them up and talk about whatever. I will never see their children. I can look forward to probably another 40-50 years without that person.
I think that's pretty sad.

Because we may not see them so soon and it is hard to see somebody you love leave you for a while. Won't you be sad when somebody you love dies? It is a natural feeling no matter what you beleive.
