How do you cope with it ?
My impression is that it's getting harder as years goes by.

Remembering years left behind and a memory of you and your life during those past years , it feels strange.

Being aware of the time and life while getting older brings many questions.
 
Nostalgia has to serve a purpose or we would not have developed it. I got 2 ideas of what it is for
1) It helps you accept dying. You are like all these decades that were the best in my life are gone and are not coming back so at least you are not dying back then and hold on too tight if it is never going to be that good again
OR
2) that when things are bad, you can remember a time that was better and try to use some ideas from then to make things better again

Now, how you cope with it depends on what you think it is for.
