I understand your perspective but I’m almost 50 and I have witnessed a great many deaths. While spiritually your points have merit, be aware that death is also incredibly hurtful, brutal, and very unkind. Respecting life here means understanding that death takes away. Nothing is as cruel because it’s permanent. The absence of that person is permanent all the while their life was not. That transcending peace of being, belongs to the soul that’s left, not the living left behind. Just my thoughts for you.
