Has anyone in your family died and made you change your attitude on things?

As far as I’m concerned, nobody in my family has died, mercifully, but when my boyfriend’s mother passed away, it greatly altered my positions on life and death, because it was the first death I’ve ever really experienced in my life. It gave me a greater appreciation of the life I have and made me realize that anyone can die spontaneously when you least expect it—cherish those relationships that you have because you don’t know when they’ll be taken away from you : that would be my best advice.

Thank you for your contributions. Without you, my questions would have no reason to exist.
