Death

[yummymommy]

To be honest I don't think I'm as hung up about it as most people, or as popular media would have you believe about most people. I don't know if it's the Buddhism or the fact that the first time I experienced death closely I was already into my 20's, either way I tend to view it in a more compassionate way that a traumatic one

So sorry for your loss. If there's anything I can do let me know.

Oh my god.

Oh Daniel, I'm sorry. I hope everybody at Focus is okay.

I'm really sorry to hear that, D. Regardless of how well you can rationalize it, the loss of a loved one is always very hard. I lost my father a few months ago, and it was much harder than I ever thought it would be. I had always been able to rationalize my feelings about death (either my own, or somebody elses), but rationalize it to a level of about %95. But when it came to my own father's time (and he was closer to me than anybody else in the world except my mother) that remaining %5 just JUMPED OUT at me, and I couldn't deal with it at all. And I'm STILL having trouble dealing with it. It's inevitable. But still, it definitely forces you to crystalize your beliefs about the whole thing. It stops being an academic or an 'abstract' idea.
