She liked thinking that people in heaven had a window to earth, a way to see what they needed to pray about, but through the tearless veil of heaven's understanding.
The character from the book "Reunion" by Karen Kingsbury finds solace in the belief that those who have passed away are still connected to the world of the living. She imagines that the people in heaven have a unique perspective, allowing them to view events on earth without the pain and sorrow that often accompany human experiences. This perspective enables them to offer thoughtful prayers for their loved ones still navigating life's challenges.
This idea presents a comforting image of the afterlife, suggesting that while the deceased are removed from earthly struggles, they maintain a caring awareness of their loved ones' needs. Through the "tearless veil" of understanding, they can intercede positively, reflecting a profound sense of love and connection that transcends the barriers of life and death.
