The accumulated burden and sorrow of losing someone we love deeply, and dearly, ads to the weight of this life we live. If you have been taught to count on the Angels then you should feel less of the loss, less sorrow for one who is now where Peace is beyond all understanding. Whether you believe it or you at Least intellectualize it, this should lift some of the weight off of you. But it does not, with every passing, every funeral, feeling the sorrow in yourself, and seeing it and knowing how people around you are feeling it, some are truly broken when their mother dies, or a child, or just the slow one after the other procession of the inevitable in a family that becomes smaller and heart break after heart break leaves the remaining bereft. And the heaviness settles in, The next paragraph us how we soldier on one foot in front if the other, then how much more his many more the sadness, sorrow is almost to much. But we learn we know eventually this life is worth every ounce of the pain . you don't want to go through all this and have to do it again, because your sorrow made you break up the contract. Some people do everyday, if you stay strong you will know how it feels to be set free if this vehicle our body, A meat sack, once you have shed it "the sweetness in the leaving" is the experience you can only get by accepting the challenge of this life. How it feels to be here with doubt and anxiety and always not being sure if you can believe that we are on purpose that Gods love is everything in everything. Naysayers will point how god could love us and let all the pain and evil. And injustice and horrifying eons of suffering happen and the simple reason is if you stayed in heaven you would know all the love and never know otherwise. But when you venture out down here where uncertainty and awful things happen even if you are isolated and protected for a life time the very fact you are going to die can be burdensome, if you are a true believer it still creeps in on you. So when we go and all this is gone , the fact of the wonderment is gods love can only be experienced in the"sweetness in the leaving." This place the feeling is mind blowing according to most people who could tell the tale of a NDE.
