my oldest brother recently died. so did my girlfriend's father.

so what? i looked it up; according to the cdc in 2017 this shows how many people died:

Heart disease: 647,457

Cancer: 599,108

Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936

Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201

Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383

Alzheimer’s disease: 121,404

Diabetes: 83,564

Influenza and pneumonia: 55,672

Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 50,633

Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,173

so, you knowing someone who died is statistically irrelevent...it just happens no matter what we do. but we don't stop an entire nation.
