| ive been thinkin bout life lately and i realized that its way too short. we never know how long our life is to be and we never really take the time to make memories and smell the roses and hug our parents/friends. its much to short. ive never liked death. i always have a hard time coping with it. memories of the times i have spend with them are both a comfort and a painful reminder that i'll never have any new memories of them. it hurts so much. some view death in a positive light; almost as a happy occurance - but it still hurts and twists at my heart. what makes it even worse is when its a friend. someone you've laughed with, cryed with, made memories with...no more though. i grieve alone. |

jburt1 | 08-30-03 2:41am I'll admit, death is a scary thought. Somehow, I used to think that I'd be perfectly fine if I died tomorrow, but I've come to realize that in the moments when my life has actually had the possibility of extinction, that I'm not ready to die. I totally agree with you that we don't take time to "stop and smell the roses," and that we take so many people and things in our lives for granted. We are looking at death in a completely human perspective though. People might just be happier dead. In the book I just finished, everyone dead and living is seen as the same. So all I have to say, I guess, is to take comfort in the fact that whoever you grieve after is dead but not gone. |
