I find comfort in my belief system, and my friend's death isn't going to change it. All I was saying was that I was thinking things like "what if there IS no afterlife and I'll never be able to see him again, like I hope I can?" But, if my beliefs are true, then he's already either found eternal rest or is back here on earth to try it again.
P.S. Thanks, Cosmo. If I ever need to talk about it, I'll PM you. I am going to his calling hours in a little while. I can't make the funeral,though.
It's this Saturday, and I have the ACT to take. I have delayed that too long.
