[Aerith can't help smiling, though it doesn't quite reach her eyes. She feels the loss of her mother very sharply every day. In that jagged edged sort of way he's saying it doesn't have to be. If the circumstances had been different, maybe she'd experience it differently.
Zack's death is also the same way. These partings, despite the notion of meeting them both in the Lifestream when she should get there, affect her deeply. In these cases, it is both grief and sadness.]
