Death

When it happens, you are probably caught off-guard. Having taken things for granted, you are probably surprised when you realize it’s really gone. 

And then you will slowly have to come to accept a few things. You will realize how short and fragile a life really is; how little you really have accomplished; how unprepared you really are; how helpless you really are; how subservient you are to your emotions; how emotionless you really can be; and how nothing can truly express the feeling we call grief.
