i don't understand how not being reunited in death makes relationships not worth having. how do relationships mean nothing just because at some point they end? your grandfather must have been so happy and felt so much love in having children, in his children having their own children. would he take all of that back knowing he would someday die? of course not. losing someone you love is hard, but you know that you can't live that way. life isn't about death, it's about the things that we do. and if you would cease to find the benefit, the joy, or the importance in relationships due to sadness and fear of answers to questions none of us can answer, well then i would be so sad for you. do you need meaning to feel worthy of your own life? you don't worry about the meaning of a dog's life, or a ladybug's, or a crab's, so why do you worry so much about your own? i am so sorry for your loss, britt, but you cannot start questioning everything because of death; it's an inevitable part of life. i know that you were just getting all these thoughts off your chest because you are thinking a hundred million things right now, but you just have to make sure that you're able to accept that these are just questions we can't answer. don't be sad about what the answers could be, don't worry if you're right or wrong, but have faith that what you want to be true really is. because it could be. you're very much loved by a lot of people, b.wight, that makes your time spent worthwhile.
