saying he's "in a better place" is a judgement passed on someone's own personal, individual belief system and should not be transmitted to someone else - especially in a period of grief during which no matter what your faith tells, you still love, miss the person and wish there were there with you. because it's human. granted, someone do seem to think that this "better place" thing helps the healing, but the man was stabbed and beheaded randomly on a bus, i think the healing will take quite some time.
