Comment on One of the terrible things about having a close friend or relative die is that it is a subtle reminder that you've moved up in the line towards the end.

My best friend who was younger than me died 2 years ago in her mid 30s. She was an alcoholic so didn’t exactly take the best care of herself. I don’t have any substance abuse issues but still don’t make the best choices for my health. I don’t exercise much and my diet is frankly horrific. Thinking about her death in this light has made me think that I really do need to get my shir together. Thanks friend.

I’ve had a few friends my age go that way as well. I think I’ve outlived about six of them at this point. Every single one is a reminder to me to take better care of myself and do more for those around me. We can’t let them die in vain … we can at least honour their memory by doing something for ourselves. It’s not a selfish act either … the better we take care of ourselves, the more capable we will be to help others.
