Answer 1

We have to accept that something as ordinary as talking to someone we love has changed.Death of a loved one changes our lives.We are left with many unanswered questions , left with unfulfilled opportunities and a future that will not be spent with someone we had hoped would be a part of our lives.Death can make us appreciate the value of our time on earth and hopefully encourage us to treat those around us in a kind and loving manner.We should never have to live with the regret we could have chosen to treat someone better in life rather than only wished we had.It is normal to want to have loved ones to walk through life with us,it is equally normal to feel sad when death separates us.Death cannot erase our memories or our love.

Answer 2

It's sad because you miss the person who died. It becomes tragic as well as sad when you have many things left unsaid. You will never ever have the chance again. it also sometimes depends on the circumstances surrounding the death itself. Not saying that makes a persons life less or more meaningful but I am sad when I hear of a little child being killed by a hit and run on the news and I don't even know the person. However death itself is never sad for the one who is. It's those they leave behind that cry.

Answer 3

Death is sad because of loss of someone or something special. Even when we see strangers dying in wars and calamities, we feel a deep seated rush of compassion for them.

But it is not always so, for example a person dying of a degenerating disease, would be better off dead than continue to suffering and writhe in indescribable pain... to hold on to such a person just to relieve our own sadness would be rather selfish I would say... so Death can be a release from pain for some, but also a stumbling block for those trying to acheive massive goals but did not make it... like James Dean was the Megastar of his time... died young :(

Answer 4

People have that backwards. The Holy Bible says to rejoice when someone dies, because they go to their reward. Be sad and morn over the birth of a child. Because of all the sin and hard ships they will face in such an evil and wicked world.

Answer 5

I think we are sad for ourselves. On the off-chance that there really is nothing of us that survives after death, we mourn not only the loss of the person, but the loss of them in our lives. We mourn for future memories that will never be created now. And even if there is life after death, we will be without that individual for the rest of our lives here. It makes me terribly sad to know that I have years yet to live, but will never again share jokes with my bubbie. It makes me terribly sad to know that my children will never get to know her, and what a wonderful person she was.

Answer 6

The Bible calls death our 'enemy'. We were not meant to die. Death was not part of Jehovah God's plan for mankind.
He created the first human pair perfect and designed them to live forever.
Had they obeyed God,they would still be alive today.Instead they sinned and have passed on imperfection,sin and death to all mankind.
Romans 5:12;

Answer 7

I didn't really feel sad when my dad died because I knew it was a blessing - it meant no more suffering for him -and he had suffered for many years.
I didn't go his funeral because I wanted to only remember him alive . I'll never regret that decision.People tell me I should have gone ''for closure'' but to me I feel that ''closure'' will be when I meet him again
I'm not really the person to ask about this as , apart from my nan who was 103 when she died -no-one close to me has ever died except my dad

Answer 8

When there is a beginning, there is an end. Death is only the last stage of life. Life is like a dream. Only memory remains. There is nothing to be sad about, if a person has lived his full life and enjoyed it.

Answer 9

Well to you and I Bex and to many others there is no actual 'death' - only earthly death. Even to me who believes that the soul never dies (and I have absolute proof of this) earthly death is sad because we miss the ones we love who have passed on to spirit. Even though I know my parents and my sister are with me still I still miss that earthly contact with them. We should really celebrate earthly death though because the soul has returned to its rightful place - Heaven/Spiritworld and has left all the earthly encumberments behind. xx

cos the people you love and Cherish are no longer with you, i have myself lost loved ones like a few on here, you don't cry for them you cry cos you miss so much, they are happy where they are, do you really think they would want you to cry over them, when you pick up a phone to talk to them, you might see someone in the street you looks like them, or dresses like them your heart stops, its your body grieving for the ones we want back in our liefs, life was never meant to be easy sweetie we here to learn a lesson in life, and then its our turn to move on so don't be sad think of all the good times you had together, i know its hard but its also true,if they loved you the way you love them back you would know they would never want you to be sad for them,think about what I'm saying,you know I'm right !!!!!!!!
