Hope in heaven encourages perseverance. Instead of dwelling on loss, Catholics are invited to entrust loved ones to God. Praying for others, especially those who have left the faith, affirms a desire for healing and reunion in God’s presence.

Reflecting on death and the afterlife can be a source of comfort. The promise of heaven urges believers to look beyond present pain and to root their hope in Christ’s victory over death. This attitude brings meaning to suffering and helps believers remain steadfast in both faith and love.
