Death. Not my own but of those around me. I am more afraid of losing people close to me than dying. I've been accompanying my grandparents to funerals of their relatives and friends. I've seen how people react to the lose and I don't like it. I don't like watching people try to keep the hurt to themselves because it makes it more painful for me to watch them.
My eyes would sometimes glaze up seeing all those mourners not because I'm a crybaby or a drama queen but because it's a habit of mine to place myself in other people's shoes. And in a funeral, there's no other shoes to fill other than those that had lost someone.
Dying is easy, coping with death is harder.
