It’s not selfish to miss them, however much they’re in a better place.

Perhaps selfish is too strong a word. But humans have things backwards: we rejoice when a child is born, even though we know it will have to undergo trials we may not even be able to imagine. But when someone is released from those trials through death, we mourn, when we should be rejoicing at their freedom. Which is why Catholics celebrate a funeral Mass.
