@Elevatorpitches Yes and no. I didn’t understand why that meant I’d never see him again.

@Elevatorpitches Exactly.

I don't remember but I freaked about it quite a lot when I was a kid. My paternal grandmother died shortly after I was born so as I was growing up I was being reminded of the fact that someone that normally should have been there wasn't. So I got the concept of absence quite early. Anxiety from understanding that anyone close to me could die any given day came a little bit later. Maybe when I was 7 or 8.

@Piper You echo me a lot on this topic. I remember the shear terror when I realized someday [i]I[/i] will die [i]too[/i]. I ran around the house holding my head because the thought just was too much to take in. I was also raised with the heaven/hell thing which never brought me comfort. Even as a child, I couldn't bare the thought of [i]anyone[/i] going to hell for an eternity. Heaven terrified me too because I could only envision a place done up in all white. lol

@Peapod I felt terror also, when I imagined and [i]felt[/i] eternity, as a child. It wasn't about about heaven or hell for me either, when I felt that. Just the idea of eternal...never ending consciousness.
I worried a lot about those I loved ending up in hell, just because they didn't get something just [i]right[/i].

When my Uncle Max died when I was five years old. I still miss him. Recently, I found out he'd committed suicide, like a lot of people in my maternal family.
@greenmountaingal guess suicide happens a lot, lost like 4 people to suicide

@greenmountaingal I had a 2nd cousin (older than me), who was driving downtown when a drunk walked in frt of him, cuz mowed him down flat. There were plenty of witnesses that would testify, but no the pigs held him overnight. He hung himself. My family worried about me when I showed a interest in cars, he was a mechanic.

Around 4 or 5 years old, when I watched Bambi and his mother was killed. That introduced me to the concept. Then when I was 5, my elderly neighbor died and it became something "real".
i was watching while my grandfather changed my fish's water trying to do a nice thing, & the poor goldfish was shocked by the changing water temp. goodbye goldie.

The death of my pet kitten when I was 11. It absolutely sucked, because it was an accidental death. I fully believe that I have both death as well as abandonment issues because of it.
Before that, when singer/songwriter Jim Croce died in a plane crash(and I knew exactly who he was), I was only 5 and didn't totally grasp it. The "not being around" part was kinda there, but it was confusing, because ABC Records kept issuing singles. I eventually got it.
