aP. I agree it definitely does – completely normal in my opinion. I am 38 but lost a few friends the same age when relatively young (8, 19, 29.). My dad dying last year also made me think about the time/stuff we spent/did together and the time I spend with all the JAMJ juniors. It can be very sobering – I have no advice to give, but I always focus on a few things (As many do…): –
– remembering the good times
– plans and do the things I mean to get around to some day
– change things I know I should
– remind people how much I value and love them
– do something for the person I have lost e.g I used to speak to my dad each day and he always used to ask me to kiss the children for him – so each night I give them a kiss from me as always – but also one from him…
Maybe I am sentimental or simplistic – but these things help me so I do them.
Look after yourself,
J
