Prior to awakening, I felt sorrow at not being able to see someone again, but not in their death. It was minor grief for myself, but not for them. I always felt dying was as much a part of life as being born, a part of the natural cycle. After the death of my younger brother, watching the sun rise brought me total peace.
Now I understand why. As awakened ones, I believe we understand the transition to death is not an end, as most people do, and thus find it to be something to celebrate rather than grieve. Once you have true faith, and that faith becomes strong, there is only love and joy in all creation.
