It is inevitable which is death. So we will all experience profound grief in our lives.

That's if you haven't already.

Do you feel fear the people that your close to passing away?

More than your own death in a sense.

Or you don't think about it? Just live your life and whatever happens, happens.

I personally have concerns about it to the point of fear at times.

I do think about my parents who are in the mid 70s.

I do think of my nieces.

I do think about my 12 year old dog who's slowed down. Wonder how much time she has left.

But yeah I do think about it and there is a sense of fear of not seeing them again. Kind of thing.
 
Anyone who isn't afraid of close friends or family dying is probably a sociopath...

Damn brother, putting labels on me like that? What an ass you are. Anyway to fear it, is to suffer it before it even happens. Fear means, your imagination has gone out of your control, creating things that you do not want and suffering your own creations. If you suffer something that isn't happening(existentially happening), I'm sure there is a medical term for that, but definitely you've lost it in some way.

Depends on your definition of afraid I suppose. Do I sit here anxious about the death of others ? No. Upon occurrence will it depress me ? Absolutely. I lost my closest friend over a year and half ago (my birthday no less which I took as a sign) I cried harder than his brother at the funeral and still speak to him today.

That's a better way to handle it than suffering something that you might witness, before you witness it. I says might witness, because who knows, it could be you who dies before they do. It's not written in stone who will die first in a family or group of friends.
 
It's rough. Father died at 57. All on me to sort out. Part of a small family and there's 2 or 3 other family members that will be all on me to sort out when it happens.

I worry more about all the deaths more for my daughter though, not myself. I can handle it.
 
Very worried about it. Now that mum and my sister have passed, Dad's the only blood family I have in Canada. Now that he's in his mid 70s I think about it a lot, and worry more than I probably should.

That's tough, sorry to hear.
 
I don't give any particular fuck about my own death, when will happen will happen

Parents one though is something that will change me deeply and for worse

Same with me, I don't how I'll react to their deaths or anyones that are close to me.

Even my dog, it's going to happen eventually. I just hope i'll be ok.
