Saw the passing of an aunt this week, and heard of another from a close friend. Both were elders, and my aunt was actually in a coma induced by a stroke that happened about two months ago.
It does make you ponder, about the ephemeral and uncertain nature of life. Accident, disease, or unexpected shocks can cause death in a very short while. Some are fortunate, and pass away in their sleep. Others suffer for some period, long or short.
In any case, we are lucky to be alive each day, and must try and make the most of it, as per our inclination, choice, and ability.
Live a life with few regrets, or none at all. My mother passed away in November 2020 after a life lived fully, with few medical issues, at around 91. We were fortunately at hand, being stuck in the COVID pandemic.
Not to worry too much about it, but be prepared for it, both your passing and that of others.
