A Better Place? What Better Place?

I've been told countless times by countless people that my mom has gone to "A Better Place". Much as I'd like to believe it, it's gotten really old and rather incomprehensible to me.

I don't understand. How do they know it's a better place? In what sense is it better? If it's really better then why are we all still here? Why aren't we all rushing to go to this better place?

On a separate note...

Very silly today. Called a friend a few weeks ago - no answer. Emailed him a few days later re something - no reply. Recently a group of friend organising an outing to my place. I didn't see any reply from him. Got a bit worried because doesn't seem his style. Called him - no answer. Phoned another friend to ask for his home no. so can call to ask whether he's ok. He called me back in the middle of that call. He's at a co function so didn't hear the phone ring. Think I scared him a bit. With my paranoia. Nowadays, it's like I keep waiting for something bad to happen to me (again).
