madpage613-deactivated20110609- asked: I would think that comfort came first, before the idea of heavenly peace. Tenderness and empathy are universal qualities and it annoys me that religion and especially Christianity has appropriated these feelings/qualities as their own--as if they could not exist outside of religious experience. Ugh, I wish I was more clear and articulate about this.

Without belief that there is something better to come after death, how do you provide comfort to the heartbroken?
