And my uncle has just gone to join mama in the Heavens. Leaving behind all his aches, suffering and inconveniences. There are some who suddenly wept buckets of tears, out aloud. And there are others who watched the passing with a calm, composed mind. Grief balanced by a sense of relief that he no longer has to suffer so.
I wonder which is the lesser evil... to helplessly anticipate death as an ill aged, or to have life suddenly snuffed out as a young soul.
2.5yrs. 3 passings. Why should there be life when the final destination for all is death?

There is no destination without the journey?
Or every step along the journey is a destination in itself?
Bleh...... How to not turn emotion-less / remain cheery & forward-looking with this kind of frequency?
There is no need to be emotion-less nor to be cheery about death specifically. But perhaps one has to recognise that it's not the only thing in life (and death). There are still other things, people and experiences to look forward to.
Give time for grieving but don't spend the rest of one's life getting depressed about death (or multiple deaths). Everybody's somebodies die some day.
I think the only depressing thing would be, to be a person who doesn't get touched by death (of a loved one). Then he has never loved, does not feel pain/grief and probably also does not know what it's like to be loved.
That's sadder than death, isn't it?
Don't get me wrong. I am definitely not one to spend the rest of my life getting depressed / obsessed about death / any one single issue.
I accept the fact that everybody dies someday. And I'd like to think that I give myself reasonable time & space to grief.
Am just lamenting over why there must be pain/death/all other negatives in order for ppl to appreciate hope/joy/all things good. Not everyone needs that kind of reminder.. Sometimes, bad things that happen now can permanently off-set positive feelings from good things that happen in the future. Hence the perplexity.
Anyways, it's an over-cooked, boring, philosophical issue that has no universally-satisfying ans, so I'd pass.
Things can happen as they wish, and they will. Like it or not.
