How to accept the death of a loved one?

And is it not a gladsome thing to know that we who have been so long away can come back and speak to you as we used to do when inhabiting the mortal body?—that the gates of the unseen world, which so many imagine to be fast closed are not so, but stand wide open?—that the loved ones whom so many think are torn away from you by what you term cruel death—the father whom you venerated—the mother whom you can never cease to love, the husband, the wife, the brother and sister, and the little darlings that clung to you in loving embrace—that these can and do come back again and make known their presence, telling you of their life in the spirit and of the blessed reception that awaits the wise and good of all ranks and of every nation?
