It isn't about god and the stuff that's constantly posted here.
I just lost a friend yesterday and I'm thinking about going into a support group. I've had so many people die lately this year that the subject of death is now at me 24-7 I honestly don't know how people can function normally when this happens. I wish I could be the same way.
At my age I have seen lots of personal friends die. People, cats, dogs, a seagull, a muskrat, several rats, a praying mantis, a bunch of parakeets, a beautiful mated pair of angelfish. All well loved and all missed. I am not mocking you, this is true. You get to accept it. It takes a while.
well, people seem to cope with things differently, and well, with spirituality, mysticism or religion, whatever one chooses, that can indeed help people cope with such things, I haven't had those experiences yet, and it looks scary to think about given that I haven't experienced great losses, in that sense, I don't seem to have that advantage.
A part from that, relating it to other things, I personally think that if I have had a religious conviction before and have sticked with it, I would probably be better than I am right now, I mean more succesful in life perhaps.
