You could be right. But I guess it also is based on how close you are to your family.
I had a conversation with my brother a few years back. I told him (At the time) that we had been extremely lucky, when it came to deaths in the family. I said "unfortunately, it's only going to get worse from here."
Little did I know, that the house of cards was just waiting to fall.
I'm from an old school country farm family. About as close as you can get.
The point i'm making is that you either learn how to deal with these things or they haunt you forever.
I learned how to manage things that are out of my control many years ago. It's something everyone needs to learn how to do.
Also, i've experienced some wild things in my life and learned to let things go.
You telling people about "how close you are makes a difference" is just your way of justifying your grief.
I should be charging you for giving you advice. It's obvious you just want to vent and get a few pats on the back. Which isn't going to help you at all.
