It's one of the hardest, saddest things about aging; so many of my close long time friends, and all of my family elders, are gone now. I am working on making new friends. But it's not the same as knowing people for all or most of your life. When someone close to you dies who has known you since childhood or youth, it's like a part of you dies, too.

Me neither. But but...I got old anyway. I totally missed that. Lol

That's pretty much the way it works.

You are certainly correct, the older you get the more lose you will suffer that is part of life.

Sorry to say that, but one the things in the life is death. So, even you will be die someday. Learn how to deal with it is difficult, but we have to do it some day.
