This came close to home as my husband died young - however, his illness was over time -- so that is a difference. Since, I feel like I want to write about, say or do everything important to me now because you never know. Death came so close. I was touched by your article! Thank you for this reminder. Of course it could happen to anyone (and will eventually.) I like what Hollie Petit wrote below. Another ray of reality is how wonderful many who have eperienced the other side and came back, say it really is. Our society has it upside down about death.
