I guess that I’m more in touch with mortality than the average person because I’ve seen, read or heard about so much death personally and In various other circumstances. That of course, death is inevitable and we can’t choose how or in what manner we may pass on. But it’s more of hoping that person was right in his life and how he lived it. All premature death is tragic, freak accidents happen, unexpected ways it really just goes down to what you did with your life in the time that you had.
We would drive ourselves crazy thinking about all of the ways people die, how, what the thoughts are, their final seconds, why did it happen that way or to them. Had a cousin that died in a car accident at the age of 13 a long time ago but the news feels like yesterday (he was conscious for a little while crying for his mom) - that kind of set the tone for life not being “fair” and death having no remorse. I know it may come off as cynical but the deaths that I really look at as unexpected tragedy are anyone under 21- for those of us older, all we can do is live life until our time on earth has expired. The soul of that person supersedes death. But in saying that- God forbid anything happens to my kids; life would be un-liveable to me Bc that’s out of the natural order. My soul would die because they are an extension of me. All we can do is control what we can because the rest is fate.
