to loose someone....

Tweet

Life is not always fair.... and death is a part of life.... it is inevitable that to live, you will one day die. Well, within 2 days we lost 2 people that were close to my family. Just last night I found out that another person that I knew, but not well, died. I am only 26, but it seems that I am loosing people faster and faster these days. Anyone else experiencing this? Deaths usually come in 3s for my family. When I was little 2 of my dad's brothers died. I was 8 when one of them died and 10 when the other died. I lost my great grandma Edwards, my great uncle Ty, and my great grandma Brown all in the same year, I was 13. They were within 6 months of each other. My mom lost a cousin in a car wreck that I didn't really know, but I was drug to the funeral anyway, I was 9 I think. My dad lost his dad when he was 3 which is horable because he never really had memories with him. His mom died the year before I was born. A few years ago my aunt lost a very near dear friend. My granny died a few months later and my ex boyfirend (of 8 years) lost his dad. I was really close to all 3 of these people. One of the people that just died was another near dear friend of my aunt's, who does not deal well with death at all. I guess I just feel like we need to get closer to our family and friends, because people seem to be dying younger around my family. Does anyone else have this issue? How do you deal with death? I go to viewings, but not the funeral usually. I try to remember the person as they were in life and try to reflect on happy times with them. I try to think of funny things that they did or something like that. I guess I can deal better than some, but I still have my little strange things going on. Any comments?
