I've been aware of these kinds of things increasingly as well. My mom is 74 and my dad is 76--and I honestly don't know how I'm going to process their loss if I'm still around to go through it. It hurts me just thinking about, yet I know it is inevitable. Death will take us all one day.
Then there's my kids--I hope they have their whole lives ahead of them, but I know the time is coming quickly that they will be grown and no longer living in my home with me. And I cannot explain the sense of loss that makes me feel. My kids are my life. Every day they are the biggest thing that makes me happy and makes life feel like its going to be okay.
Those thoughts about my parents and my kids have been swirling around in my head for a very long time now and it makes me so depressed because you can't stop the passage of time. But, I hope that these thoughts will motivate us to use what time we do have to make it count as much as possible. Its important to make sure you make time for those you love and to focus on making as many memories as you can.
My biggest hope for you and for me is that we can also set aside our maudlin thoughts enough so that we can enjoy what we have now. It would be easy to waste time worrying about it, but I hope so much that we can avoid that.
So, I hear what you are saying and I'm sorry for all the bad things going on around you. *extra hug*
Yep. It's a morbid thought process, I guess but ...it's something that hits you hard just thinking about it. I do like to think though that it does make people make the most of what they have when they have it,enjoy themselves as well because like you said, the last thing you want to do is be thinking in that sense and be miserable.
My Mum was devastated when I moved out. I'm back at home at the moment but am planning on getting my own place later this year once again and I know even though I'm almost 30 Mum will still be devastated all over again when I move out LOL
