Do you believe that if an afterlife exists death should be mourned?

    If there is an afterlife, it doesn't change the fact that we won't physically have that person in our lives anymore. Mourning is coping with a loss, not coping with someone else's loss. Especially if there is no afterlife, the dead person doesn't know they're dead and feels no loss. We can say it's sad that they'll never get to do any of the things they never got to do but in the end it's only sad for everyone else, the dead person isn't sad - they're dead.

    I don't think death should be mourned at all! Everyone dies eventually... What's the point of crying about something that is inevitable?

    I don't think it should be mourned if an after life exists.
