I guess there's reason behind it. You're right about death. It doesn't get any easier no matter who or how they relate to you. My MIL died in September and that's still hard for all of us. We're slowly getting to things in therapy. I don't know if my information would be useful to anyone else or not...maybe I should be clearer about things. I don't know.

Growing up, I was taught that it would all make sense someday - I've found that it's partially true, although I am sure some things will remain senseless. Last weekend, my favorite teacher died. She had made an effort to keep in touch with me, but I had been standoffish because I didn't want to admit to her that I'd dropped out of college. She died very suddenly and unexpectedly, and I realized that she wouldn't have cared what I was doing with my life as long as I was happy with it. I wish I'd done as good of a job keeping in touch as she did. Now, it's too late. Yesterday, I visited the mausoleum with my fiancé to pay our respects to his aunt, whom I never met. They were very close. There's nothing quite like watching someone you love tear up for someone you never even got the chance to see face to face. Death is always hard, but there's no point in trying to figure out why certain people die and others don't. Nearly everyone who dies means the world to someone out there, and it's always painful and it always spurs the same questions. Therapy is tough, but important. I would definitely urge you to explore all these things and whatever else comes up, because you will come out better for it.
