Cries for the dead!

I often ask myself why, for our dead we cry. If it's for heaven they leave, then why moan and grieve? It's common when they depart, we're filled with broken hearts. Heaven is a good place; filled with love and grace! It comforts spirit and soul; that's what we been told. Is this faith a sham? And the truth: we're damned! Are we lost to eternity and our belief blatant hypocrisy? Help!!: solve the mystery why; for our dead we cry. If heaven is where we ascend, shouldn't death be glorious then?

I think we cry for ourselves at the loss of someone, its a healing process I beleive, even if the death proved a blessing in disguise we still grieve for that person.
This happens if we beleive in a heaven or not, even some animals grieve and they dont beleive in a heaven, I think.
Good food for thought byfaithhandshake

It's a good question I have asked a many on passing. However, sometimes tears are not just in moaning. They're tears of joy for those departing the trials of this earth. They are tears of remembrance for knowing someone so great...There are tears for so much and hopefully we are shedding them for the right reasons.
