If a loved one suddenly passes away, is it shocking? Of course. However, is it still shocking when a person who has been slowly declining finally does pass away? Maybe not quite as much. But it's still feels sudden to me, nonetheless.

The reason it feels like this to me is that they're is a big difference between someone who is on his/her last legs compared to them actually being gone.

I'm sure their are others who feel this way after they've lost a person in their lives in which they knew didn't have much time left.
 
The older you get, the more people you will see die.

Most of my relatives have already kicked the bucket ... I wasn't particularly happy when my grandma died, b/c I liked her, but I understood that she couldn't stick around forever. When my parents died, I was actually happy for them, b/c they were both over 70 and they seemed to have had enough of life, more or less. I like to think they've moved on and are doing something different now.
 
Loosing a Loved one, or ones, is very difficult, and a personal journey. You never get over the passing, but you learn to cope and go on. One day our passing will come as well. Its kind of like being born, you never know the time or day or the event that will take you there. Live each second as if it were your last, because it may be.
 
You'll always miss a person you liked or loved who is no longer with us.

Years ago, I was friendly with an older guy who passed away in 1996. And even though I didn't know him real well, I miss him from time to time. So even losing someone you weren't real close to hurts, and you'll always miss the person.

Wise words.....
 
Yeah, we can all die practically any minute, it's always a good idea to be aware of that. Believing in reincarnation might help, though ... b/c nothing's worse than believing you will fall into a great abyss of nothingness ...
 
I felt that when my Grand mother died a few years ago. She was one of the most important person to me. My best friend. She used to discuss everything of her era with me and listen to my long long stories about my school and college life. I belong from a family of doctors. My father and my uncle did everything and they couldn't save her. I learnt how inevitable death is. I still feel she would be sitting in her bed and smiling and waiting for me to come home and talk to her.
 
It's always sad news when you find out that people that you know have passed away. You would have to be considered as a heartless person if you thought otherwise. Or if you were one of the dumb idiots on twitter making up bullshit hashtags telling us that somebody famous has lost their lives.
