It is discomforting to lose someone one's own age--we lost a supervisor at my workplace a few years younger than myself and when I remarked on that singular chronological differential--the difference of a few years between his age and mine, I came to feel like a total jerk.

Both of my friends were in hospice for an extended period of time.

It is discomforting to lose someone one's own age--we lost a supervisor at my workplace a few years younger than myself and when I remarked on that singular chronological differential--the difference of a few years between his age and mine, I came to feel like a total jerk. The point isn't that someone younger than myself died--it was that he died at all that was the tragedy. <br /><br />It strikes me as ridiculous that anyone is ever at an age where death becomes a companion with which we must deal. But it is our reality, as I come to understand with every passing funeral. The vicarious children of our peers grow--and some of them graduate to glory when we are barely looking.
