To the loved ones who have died, pay the holiest tribute possible. There are others still here; ensure you have right relationships with them. If a relationship is right, the end won't hurt much. The end might even be glorious, a true pinnacle. The relationship was an upward journey all along, and death now becomes the peak of that connection.

Questioner: How to deal with close persons who are passing away out of our lives, like I understand that death is a natural thing, we are here and then we are moving to other places, but still when you're facing those things for like first few times, or I don't know if it's getting easier later, but how to let all those people go and I know those kinds of situations, like my grandma died a few months ago and I still have this thing…
Acharya Prashant: There would be several others who would be alive, the highest tribute you can pay to your grandmother is have fulfilling and healthy relationships with the ones who are still here. We will not be there, nobody would be left. Why wait to weep after someone is gone? Why not live in a way that does not leave you with a lot of disappointments after death? You see death, we all know it's the reality of this universe, we cannot have life without death. Yes, death appears painful, but maybe if you go into the fact of death, it is the unlived life that is more painful than death, and probably the unlived life is also why there is so much left to anguish over after someone is gone, all the unlived possibilities and all the lived nonsense.
You could probably spend twenty years with someone and fifteen of those years really collectively, could have gone towards just trivia or mutual torture, as often happens in relationships. Now after the other is no more there, all that is left is sadness and disappointment, a form of guilt. Isn't it quite strange as long as there is the opportunity, as long as we are alive, we do not really respect and value these precious moments, we feel as if we would stay on forever? We do not realize that the clock is ticking, that every moment gone is one moment left less in life, and when the clock stops ticking then there is so much remorse.
