Death and Divorce

I got this idea today while I was taking out the trash at work -

What if the reason we feel so much pain at people's passing has more to do with the picture of separation than it does with our own hurt?

To go on - the greatness of marriage lies in its picture of Christ and the Church in unity. That's why marriage is so beautiful, why everyone's so happy. Let's face it: John and Jane planning to spend a lot of time together is, in itself, just a very nice gesture on each individual's part. But the picture, that's the real deal.

So what if death is like that. Separation forever. Gone, and that relationship won't exist anymore. Looks a lot like a miniature picture of hell, eh?

That's all.
