In general, holy magic works with the deceased person's permission. But I agree, those who have been gone do not always wish to return. I knew a woman once - she was killed, and her husband spent many years mourning her, until he asked for a holy man's favor and had her brought back to life. But even though she'd agreed to it, in a sense - having been gone so long, the world and being a living person no longer suited her. She was lost and purposeless.
I don't think the other side is actually so terrible. It's only terrible to be here, longing for someone there.
