At one moment, someone you knew is just gone in a flash.  You never get to see them again; you never get to hear them again..

One of the guys who worked at the store I'm at passed away.  He died of a stroke on the way home; I think I was told he'd been behind a school..

It really just hurts, y'know?  I mean, I never knew him, but it was such a shock to my system.  Just to hear he was gone like that...

Ian... I'm sorry to put salt into the wound, but it's how life goes: you can't be sure of how long anyone will stick around.
I don't believe in Heaven and Hell, I don't believe that there is an invisible man (that is three-in-one) that is constantly judging us, so I try to value the time I have here by doing something that will cheer someone and myself up: religiosity (or lack of) aside, I think that is one of the best ways to cope with this matter.
I'm not gonna lie: I've seen plenty of people I knew (one of them was my uncle) going away in their prime, I've cried (and felt like utter shit) also, but there is always one thing that always got me up on my feet: I've learnt something from them, I knew them. As long as I keep in mind what they taught me, they will always be "alive" somehow, their loss won't be as devastating.
