Replying to Getting older; people die too often

its a reality we all must face in our lives. (100% of people die within their lifetime) but damn. The older you get, the more often people close to you die.

I'm a very realistic person and I take death as it is. Without sounding too cold hearted, I've always been very good at accepting the passing of friends and family. Certain times though, things just kinda stack up on you and it's hard to not feel... Lost? Overwhelmed? Not exactly sure what word to use.

6 months ago I lost a good friend in a tragic way, today her brother - another good friend of mine - died. Two days ago I also lost my uncle -in-law.

I'm making this thread as both a way to vent, and to say: you never know who is going to go, and when. Appreciate everyone around you, don't let petty shit get to you, and in the end - don't be afraid to let people you love know it, because they might be gone tomorrow.

This is to all those that left us too early.


I think the important thing I'm feeling right now is to live your life in a way that would make them go "fuck yeah".

It's gotta be hard for the real old folk who have lived long enough to see everyone they have ever known leave them. The older we get, the more common place loss of loved ones becomes. Harsh, but true. Make them proud!
