It may sound stupid, crazy or irresponsible, but i've decided to mourn the death of my loved ones in advance. Dont blame me. It has even made me withdraw a bit from them. I dont wish death on any of them, i couldnt have loved any of them more dearly.
My reason is this, i've been with my friends on certain occasions, long time friends, not once not twice, when all of a sudden they recieve a call announcing the death of a loved one, mother, father, sibling or relation. I can see the agony. Some of them are scarred for life, like a friend of mine who was called to inform his mum and dad had died in a car crash. People i knew so well and loved too. Today he can pass for a deaf/mute because he doesnt talk to anyone. I cant imagine the devastation i would go through if a member of my family died after so long together.
I will NOT be caught unawares. I refuse to be caught unawares, and since they say death is inevitable, maybe one day if the misfortune befalls me, i'll look back and say 'I was prepared'.

Well i understand u sha o, but. . .
Well i dunno i've not thought of it that way

food 4 thot!

poster are u alright at all ?

neva heard of such

@ poster, stop deceiving yourself, you can never be fully prepared until it finally happens.

Live for today and thank God for giving you and your own family life. Let 2mr take care of its own problems.

It hurts no doubt to loose someone suddenly but man, i think you are taking this just too far. What?

@ poster

what if you go b4 any member of your family u said u are mournin in advance

This is simply amazing

Anticipation of death is worst than death

while you're at it, are you also mourning your own death in advance?

You're supposed to pray and caution such thoughts because even if inexplicable things are really happening in that manner, dwelling on them like this wont help your mental state.

Rebuke the devil and he will flee from you.

You're not the only one experiencing such and you wont be the last either.

thank you.

Count your blessings, not your sorrows. The day's own problems are sufficient for the day. Why add more.

having a thankful attitude makes better sense.

Exactly so. You have to live life for today and let tommrow take care of itself. You will never be happy or live a fufilled life if you are always worried about dying or someone else dying. You will be miserable. Everything you think you are trying to avoid by distancing yourself, that attitude will only make it worse. Trust me, I know. Its not a way to live.

this is wierd
