So true.

So sorry for your loss.

I’ve been thinking about the same thing lately. I lost 2 uncles within the span of a year and it looks like another uncle (diff side of fam) is not going to make it long.

This is a stage in our lives when we have to prepare our heart for that kind of loss. It’s a reality we have to face. 😞

Its to think about, I have best friend I know that won't make it though this year. They are dying from blood cancer. They signed themselves out of hospice care, because they want to go on their terms and not hooked up to bunch of wires and shit.

I say maybe they got month or so left on earth. We been best friends since the early 80s.

Sorry for your loss 🫂 We never have anything for long :( Make each moment count ✌

I am so sorry for your loss. You're absolutely right 😞

Just another reason why getting old isn't for sissies. I am reminded of my grandmother complaining that all the other couples they used to see and socialize with had passed on. I was a teenager then and thought she was just being silly. Youth really is wasted on the young.

Damn depressing, that’s for sure. Cold, stark reality. Especially jarring when both parents are gone and you realize you’re now at the front of the death line. I used to ask my mom how she coped with the deaths of family and friends that were happening more and more frequently. She never really had a good answer. I don’t think there is one.

Yes, it’s very sobering. People suddenly find themselves alone. They have to mourn and move forward. Very difficult to do.

Making new friends is not easy, until you realise there are many of you in the same boat.

I’m sorry, I also find this upsetting when I hear people I used to know passed away.

Sorry to hear. I buried a friend 2 years ago. He wasn't anywhere near "old". Last year, I said goodbye to an uncle, as well. It's life's defective timeline, as we all overlap.
