I’m 44. My first experience with someone young dying was at 27 (she was 26) of a heart condition. In the last 7 years I’ve had about 6 people I know pass away before 70. 2 where in there 40’s. One from cancer at 42 and another a stroke at 46. And I recently found a pic of me with both of them from the 90’s. Also almost all the celebs I’ve been fans of since I was a child have passed away young or somewhat young (John Ritter, Corey Haim, Heath Ledger, David Cassidy to name a few). It’s makes me feel very upset. Especially when I find pics with or of these people.

One thing that can make the pain worse when experiencing loss is go on a measuring contest about who's lost more and when. Doesn't help the healing and could even open old wounds.
Um, you equate celebrities’ deaths with the deaths of people you know?
Look, some of us have experienced grievous loss, and some have experienced fewer losses. I do not believe you are unique. You should understand that you are not unique in this way. The important thing, I believe, is to learn something about life from your experiences. Otherwise, your experiences mean nothing in your life.
If you want to put things into perspective, just imagine being a war orphan in a refugee camp.
We don't have to deal with that kind in America, which is a good thing, but it makes us a bit soft too. People in some other countries aren't as lucky.
