If we are able to say truly and sincerely that the person who has departed from this life was a treasure to us, then where our treasure is, there our heart must be also (Matthew 6:21), and we must also, along with the person who has entered eternity, live as fully and deeply as possible in eternity.

For eternity is the only "place" where we can be together with the departed person. And this means that as more of our loved ones leave this genuine pilgrimage and enter the stability and peace of eternal life, the more we must feel that we belong to that world and that the values of that world gradually become our values.
