The very fact that separations are so difficult for us is an indication that we were not originally created for separation, just like we were not originally created for death (which is a type of separation). For God is all Communion, and we were made for eternal communion with Him in Heaven. God, as a Trinity of three Divine Persons, lives in an eternal relationship of love, and it is into that relationship of love that God invites us. We often reject this invitation, as our first parents did at the beginning of creation, by choosing to sin. But sin only leads to disunity, discord - a lack of communion, and greater separation from God and from each other.
We were made for communion, not separation. Yet, separation is a trial we must suffer on this earth until, God willing, His Mercy calls us back together in eternal union and love in Heaven.
This is why we suffer so much from goodbyes and separations and loneliness, because we are made for something else - for something More!
YES! Oh, you are so close to getting into some TOB...!!!! haha We were made by Love, for love, and to love! :)
