Spirits can choose to be free.

I'm assuming our spirits leave our bodies the moment we experience physical death. In other words, we no longer are physical beings. We die physically. But not spiritually. Because the spirit is indestructible. Or maybe not. Maybe one can choose to obliterate one's spirit. And go into nothingness. But the body is only a vessel that contains our spirit. Our soul, so to speak. I assume that loved ones' spirits/souls are now cavorting with each other. In a timeless dimension. And that they are far more happier than we physical beings. Because they are free of their physical restraints. Free as free can be. Now I think this is a very romantic concept. But I also think it is quite Catholic/Protestant/religious. Of course, I'm not a member of an organized religious faith. Because they generally don't know what they believe. That's why members of organized religions, for instance, need an edict from a pope or a cardinal or a bishop or a scholar to tell them what to believe. Some modern day religious fanatics are incapable of thinking for themselves. Because they think that would be sinful. That god doesn't want anyone to think for themselves. Which I think is preposterous. But to each his/her own. Anyway, there's no reason to get upset if the empty corpses of one's loved ones are not in direct physical contact with each other. Because they are mere empty containers. Wouldn't make any difference if their dead bodies were 10,000 miles apart. Or turned to ashes or dust. Because their spirits are together. Yes, resurrected. Or so I presume. Because spirits are free to move about. Not only in proximity of Mother Earth. But anywhere in the cosmos. In the entirety of creation. They may even be cavorting with each other in another galaxy. In true Paradise. Yes, we are free to believe what we want to believe. Because inside our sometimes beautuful and voluptuous carcasses we have a free spirit. That is, if we allow it to be free. --Jim Broede
