A death of someone close changes everyone in many different ways. Some people hide behind laughter, others isolate themselves to avoid more pain, some just brake down because they just cant cope, while I just try to move on as quickly as possible (or pretend to).
There are also some who start to constantly think about how unfair life is. These people sometimes become bitter and rude to everyone they meet, because they believe that no one else could possibly understand that particular pain of losing someone who was such a huge part of their life and knowing for an absolute fact that that person is never coming back.
So next time you meet a particularly difficult old man, think of who he's lost over the years. He may have lost his wife or be the last of several children or even the last member of his entire family. But there are some very lucky people, who believe that those who are dead are not gone, but just waiting for you to join them. And how I wish I were one of these people.
But I do wander, what do other people do? What kind of person are you?

I think the end is the end. No one comes back to disprove it, but I think the important thing is to face the truth as you see it!
