I struggle with this way too much. I am not sure how I see death and that bothers me. On one hand, I believe that we have souls. On another hand, I've witnessed way too much death in my life and it appears to me that when a being dies, it's just gone. But then, I've also had a very strong sensation of a deceased loved one being near me at times.

So I guess my answer is...I'm not sure how to perceive death.
