This is very disturbing to the loved one, from where they are in the inner world, and wondering, "Why the grief?" Because, they are fine. They are happy and they are free of a lot of karmas, a lot of worries, a lot of conflict, ready to start a new life.

Those who have a mixed religious background - a mix of eastern religions and western religions - will be heard to say, "He's gone to Siva's feet". Yet they will be seen crying and in agony because their loved ones went to the higher side of the world that there is.
