I remember how it felt for me to return to the church (6 years after her death) and be in that community that believed "life is not ended, only changed." I grieve for you in the loss of your friend, and rejoice in that memory of God's grace. That's another point of identification I have with your post -- grace happens, whether we notice it or not.

The other thing you can do in this life is to give what love and service you can back to those other transient humans who are passing through with you and maybe, just maybe, you can leave with you head held high and be remembered as a loving, caring person.
