Just received news that my friend's mom had passed away due to an illness. Even though i am not very close to this friend, but i can feel how he is feeling and it is just so sad.

Actually, everyday, I will think of what would happen to me if someone close to me pass away. Almost everyday. so much so that i think i am morbid. But am i really morbid? If we don't think about it and try to avoid it, would the shock of the demise of a loved one hit you even harder?

Would we also try to cherish the time we have with the them? i think i can safely say no. With "death" as the taboo word at the back of our mind, we will probably think that we can just carry on with life as we always did, uncaring of whether did we spend any time and effort with our loved ones. as cliche as it sounds, do we have to wait until they leave this world before we know that their physical presence means so much to us?

This reminds me of the book "Tuesday with morries" by albom mitch. Which i read, i cried, i empathise and i understand. or at least i think so.
