When someone dies, especially when young

Your brain can’t accept it. Today I learned that a girl I went to high school with passed away last week. It’s been years since I last saw her but I can’t believe it. Like really, my brain can’t make sense of it. Death is a basic fact in life but it seems so unreal

I know how you feel. I used to live with two girls who were twins once upon a time. Last year one of them had a baby and the other died. I still can't accept it. Since they were twin sisters, they had a bond nobody could understand and it's like the bond got looser when one of them had her own family and her own baby girl. Then the other died a few months later and I'm trying not to attach a metaphysical meaning to it but my brain makes some weird connections.
