Why do people always talk about death as a 'better place'? You don't know that.
It has to be better than Earth right now, with Corona and all.

Yeah, it's kinda weird. This is why I mostly don't comment on death news. I don't know anything about it.
I do know that it's sad for the people she left behind but beyond that, I don't know.
