I think it makes you feel more vulnerable. We all accept the fact that we, most likely, will outlive our parents and our aunts and uncles, etc. but when you reach the point where it’s your peers - siblings, friends, spouses - going, it does hit differently. None of us has the guarantee of tomorrow, but we have the assurance of what comes next.
I am so sorry, fren. Prayers. Loss of a friend just hits differently 😔
