Instant CongressWords to live by"Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions are all based upon that large defect in your race - the individual's distrust of his neighbor, and his desire, for safety's or comfort's sake, to stand well in his neighbor's eye. These institutions will always remain, and always flourish, and always oppress you, affront you, and degrade you, because you will always be and remain slaves of minorities. There was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions." Subscribe Buttons                    | ||
Keep the memories and keep yourself
Death is never easy, particularly when it should never come. Most of the deaths I have seen were elderly people (though even at age 94, the loss of my grandmother was very hard on me) and so one could always look back at their long lives and feel satisfied.
My only experiences of death around young people were my own near death, my brother's near death and a friend's spouse's death on 9/11. I nearly saw my brother die, saw him in a coma for some time before he recovered, and my main emotion was anger.
My friend lost her spouse on 9/11 and it devastated her. It took a long time and many supportive friends to get her through it.
Hold on to the memories. They will always be yours. And hold onto yourself. There isn't much else I can say.
