How do you deal with loss?
#14
I try to live my life in a part of the way they would have. One of my coworkers died in his early 20s, he was one of the biggest star wars geeks I had ever met. He wasn't able to see episode 1 (thankfully for him, maybe). He talked a lot about the show FireFly, I hadn't seen it until after he died. A woman driving a van collided with him at an intersection, she ran a red and Tboned his car into the telephone pole.

If their parents are still alive, I think it helps to write a small letter or call them to tell them a story about them. I knew my coworker/friend liked Final Fantasy a lot, so when I went to Japan I had bought a small figure of one of the characters and mailed it to his parents.

After that I don't take a day for granted, which usually means gardening or landscaping until the sun sets instead of waiting to do it tomorrow.

We're all going to die someday. It's cliche, don't know when, but better do whatever you wanted to do, right now if possible.
