Let us keep this truth before us. You say you have no faith? Love--and faith will come. You say you are sad? Love--and joy will come. You say you are alone? Love--and you will break out of your solitude. You say you are in hell? Love--and you will find yourself in heaven.
Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
