It sucks. But at the same time it doesn't suck. I don't know. On the one hand, he isn't there, which can be rather discouraging and the Catholic Church is going to be thrown into a little bit of chaos. At the same time, it's kind of cool. The view Catholics have on the dying process is not one of sorrow, or at least not completely. Once you die, you are (hopefully) with Jesus and everything is fine and dandy. Dying, of course, sucks, but death is just the next step.
Ubi caritas est vera, Deus ibi est.
