Anxiety about death

In the last few years I’ve experienced the loss of my great gram and a friend from college. My great gram was an expected loss because of her age but my friend from college was only 21 years old and she was suffering from cancer. She had it as a child and then it came back later. It was during Covid so I never really got to see her for the last time or tell her goodbye and it makes me anxious when that might be my last goodbye to someone else. I don’t know if anyone has experienced any similar losses but it just sucks Because you truly never know when the last time you will see someone or tell them you love them is. It’s been over 2 year since they both passed and for whatever reason I was filled with emotions and memories of them tonight

I agree death of younger people can be really hard to grieve and accept. 💛

The hardest losses for me were my 23-year-old friend who died of cancer, my best man who would have been 36 this year to a stroke in his sleep, and a friend my age that had an eating disorder. I'm Christian and my husband is Jewish so we have different views on what happens in the afterlife. I find myself asking what would my best man do if he were still alive. I miss him that much. It was also hard because my husband got his cancer diagnosis that year. My husband is fine now. I'm so sorry for your loss.
