Your death is not the suckiest thing that can happen to you; it’s the death of others that is. (& The Philosophy of: Memento Mori)
Once you die, that’s it. You (most likely) don’t have to deal with it. But there is nothing that sucks more than the death of someone you love. At least when you die, you’re at peace. But when a family member dies, it is the closeness to them that makes …
