I had to deal with death at a really young age.
We do have trouble dealing with death, but it's the one thing that is guaranteed we are all going to have to do, and we are going to have to face it many times before we die ourselves.
To date or not to date that is the question. It's almost as important as Shakespeare's to be or not to be which deals with death.
How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life.
