Is the death of a loved one considered a joyful or a sorrowful occasion?

How can it be a joyful occasion? Not even the funeral home owner will call it a joyful occasion in my opinion. I don't think most people would describe the death of a "loved one" as "joyful" because the world can seem a less brilliant or beautiful place, when a loved one dies. It is the most sad and sorrowful occasion. However, for someone who has endured a lot of suffering it may be seen as more of a relief that they are no longer in pain. Even in that circumstance, there is a period of definite sorrow. Most people forget to celebrate someone’s life and the gifts that they share with us while they are living. It's very human to feel sad/distressed, even guilty, because we wanted to say more, to show our appreciation more, but never did and now it's too late. I think we should learn from others and love and let our love be known while our precious partners/loved ones/friends are still with us and while we're here too. Many people are afraid of death and want to live longer.

Happy Thursday Sir [이름]!
Well said. ^^ Yes, of course, death is not a joyful occasion.

Maybe it depends on the person or family members on how they perceive this kind of situation.

It is really sad when you are in this situation.

Most people such as friends or acquaintances tell the bereaved family to think positive like what you mentioned below.

The dead person won\'t feel hurt, sacrifice or hopeless anymore.
Thanks for sharing your ideas again. Talk to you soon.
