All I can think about is death lately

Everywhere I turn it seems like people are dying. I can't go more than a few hours without thinking about death. My great great aunt and my great uncle just died recently. I've been having nightmares almost every night about people close to me dying or about people I knew who died somewhat recently and had strange unnatural deaths. The books I'm reading all having dying people in them. I keep thinking about how painful it would be to lose someone you care about so much. And to top it off when I was at the salon this afternoon the woman behind me got a phone call and started screaming and crying because she was told that her son had just died. She kept screaming "My son is dead" and I froze. I had no idea what to do. What could I do? She doesn't know me. What good would I be to her? And yet I couldn't forget about it. It was absolutely horrible to witness. I wish I knew how to react in these situations. I feel like an awful human being for doing nothing.
