Does the pain of death equal the joy of birth?

In life, everything begins and ends, thus, there is birth and there is death. But the pain of losing a loved one through death is sometimes unbearable to some people. They get depressed, become ill, etc. Pain is seen through the eyes of a widowed wife, an orphaned child, and many others left by their loving family members. Well, yes, there is happiness in seeing a newly born child, but could this happiness enough to erase the pains of losing a loved one?

I remember when I lost both my parents, (within a year of each other) it was so hard.I had taken care of the elderly for many years but losing both my parents so close even with all my training I was not prepared. When my father was at the end of his life however I had observed his breathing how it became shallow, and for me it some how reminded me of when I was in labour with my son many years ago,I never put the two together,and what some how gave me comfort was a thought that as my father was passing away perhaps a new baby was coming into the world. This was just my own thought but we never know,grief is really the most difficult thing we as humans go through but I found in time we all do heal and everyone handles grief different and that is okay.
