That is definitely made up by people who say things that sound nice. Sure doesn’t fit Christianity. But I see why people say it. Lack of knowledge of their own religion and to placate their children. It does work.
Christians do believe that people who have died can and do watch over the people still alive. Better proof : St Theresa of the sacred Heart of Jesus said : I will spend my time in Heaven to do good on Earth." What about that ? They’re not angels, but they do exist and watch over us. Who cares if Lizzie is not quite correct ? After all, truth lies in the beholders !

When will they ever learn?? Angels are created beings, created by God. They are NOT, repeat, NOT humans who have died.

This is a sweet strip, today! I’m not concerned about the theological inaccuracy of what Elizabeth said. It’s perfect in this setting.

DO cry, Michael. You miss her. Tears pass but only if we let them.

It’s kind of distressing that the self-proclaimed “Christians” are the most outspoken in denying the children their innocent fantasy.

Don’t cry because she’s gone. Smile because you knew her.

This is one of the most comforting views I have ever seen expressed by anyone.
