Ramya, as always your articles are highly nourishing food for thoughts. I like the way you put it "After this I realized that nobody knows anything. Religion is just people making stuff up, with greater or lesser degrees of persuasion.". Although in this context nobody knows what happens after one's passing away, religion gives a way to move past the bereavement is my thinking because time does not stop for anyone. I really like the way you concluded this beautiful, autobiographical piece. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed reading! I agree that religion gives one a way to move past bereavement and can be very spiritually helpful, offering consoling explanations for something we can't really know or fathom. Thank you for reading <3
