Abstract
As Victor E. Frankl pointed out, human beings are homo patiens. Suffering, especially occurred from losing a beloved, urges the loser to construct a new relationship with the lost beloved, which brings the loser living a new life (the power of suffering). On the other hand, the suffering itself is saved by a "community of memory" that stands close to the loser with sympathy (the power of co-suffering). In that sense, both remembering the lost beloved and cooperatively participating in the act of remembering have religious meanings. The fact that happiness is fragile and transient gives rise to the sorrows of life, while, conversely, it strengthens the sense of happiness at this very moment.
