As I communicate with religious people about his death, I would like to avoid using those phrases, as they don't seem honest for me. Yet, I don't want to be callous and insensitive. The best I've come up with are 'dead', 'no longer with us'. So I'm looking for.... well, like the "Happy Holiday's" of death. The secular forms of expressing various death related sentiments that are neither pro-religious, nor completely insensitive to others. 'Is in our memory'? I don't think that is insensitive or dishonest to your view. Really I've found the death of a person can happen without the organism shutting down. There's people who are dead to me yet still walk and talk. (No I don't mean zombies. Just changed people :P) However I still cherish memories of the people I once knew who are no more. Same is said for those who's bodies have returned to the Earth. |

I'm sorry for your loss MT. Death sucks. Missing those people, not being able to talk to them, knowing that they can never eat ice cream or pet puppies ever again. Those things really suck.
How about "in the hereafter"? It just means in the next phase or world...  |
