Ovasi Views: Death and Transformation Part 2

We all need comfort and when it comes to death, Christians are comforted by 2 Corinthians 5:8 in the King James version. It states, we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. We  mourn when a loved one has died. Their change has come and we miss their physical body here in this realm. But we have to learn to carry on without them here and it could be very hard at first here because now, there's a an empty space in our lives.
Many times we forget in that one second and we attempt to call them before we realize their physical absence in our lives. We want to tell them recent good news, or we may just want to call and chit chat, but then that's when we remember,  they are absent from their bodies.
In Buddhism, there is a concept of bardo, meaning “in-between.” It traditionally describes the transitional state between death and rebirth, but its essence also characterizes the gap between any two states. 
Death triggers fear, and it forces transformation. It’s all part of the circle of life, so how do we go on from here when a loved one has transitioned?
