Death Is Imminent, But Often Too Soon.

Sorry for the depressing subject today, but I am in a depressing mood. You see, a friend of mine has died recently. The cause of death is yet to be determined; the authorities think the most likely cause is suicide. But I would never have thought this person would do that. Though you can never tell. So, the subject for today is death, something no one can escape.
It is everywhere, where there is life there is death. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. It effects everyone, mostly those still living. It causes pain in our souls. A small part of me is ripped out every time I hear about the death of a friend or relative. Though at my young age there have been few, I know there will be many more under my belt as I grow older. Unfortunately.
The death of young children is the saddest of all. Parents should never have to bury their children; the natural way of things is for children to bury their parents. When young people die it is heart breaking, they had a whole life ahead of them and it was snatched away. Burnt out like a candle.
Death has become more apparent in my life recently. It seems as though people are dropping down around me. How ever morbid that may sound. It is depressing. I think when I was young most of it went over my head but now I can't avoid it. I don't know how someone survives through it sometimes. What do you do if your husband, wife, child, parent, or best friend dies? How do you ever move on? I guess the pain eventually subsides but how long will that take? How long does it take to let go?
Much Love to all, alive and dead,
