        ??? Many people are not here anymore.
              Where are they now?
              Only God knows where all these people are now!

Too many.  Both parents, inlaws, friends, work friends.   And let's not forget our furry four legged friends.

Well, frankly, I am 68 years old so there are now many people I have known in one manner or another who have died.  Within the last year my brother-in-law, sister, and about 3 people out of my graduating high school class have died.  Less than 3 years ago, my oldest daughter's boyfriend died of cancer at only 45 years of age.  Losing people around you that you care for or are a similar age is usually tragic, eyeopening, and a bit frightening.

I am 70 years old and when you reach that age, you usually have been to quite a few funerals. I have been to surprisingly few, however, because most of my friends are still in pretty good shape. Of course, I have lost my mom and dad, and I lost my sister to cancer when she was only 40 years old, but my brothers are still kicking and showing no signs of slowing up and neither am I. People are just living longer and longer with advances in medicine.

I'm not old but have been to quite a number of funerals, lots of very old relatives and family friends. Between car accidents, the war, and suicide I have also lost a few people from my high school class. Always sad to hear.

I grew up going to church and this has been most of my life so there has been many that I know that have died, too hard to count.

At 79 years old, it would be easier for me to count how many people I know that are still alive.

Certainly too many - I am 64 so the older I get the more people I have lost.  Both my parents, my husband and my best friend.  I try not to dwell on it as there certainly isn't anything I can do about it except trust God's plan for my life as well as those I love.   :rose:

My father died when I was in my early 20's.  Then my great grandmother and grandfather died.  I have also lost my grandmother on my father's side, my 2 uncles, my 3 aunts and also my grandmother and grandfather on my mother's side.

Quite a few. I have been to 3 just this year. The ones that hit me the hardest were my grandparents. It has been years but I think about and miss them everyday.

So many of my family including my mother and father, there were 10 kids in my  mom's family and all have since passed several of my cousins, friends, classmates.  my children . My husbands family are mostly gone now. He has one Aunt still alive. But  when you get older it  is what it is.

Reminds me of a line in a song that Bob Dylan wrote called "Blowin in the wind"that Peter Paul & Mary sang so beautifully......

"How many deaths will it take till we know,that too many people have died"?

Kind of an odd question. I don't know. Too many to count.

I never counted before.... now readying you I started thinking...  luckily not too many in my life... but enough... some old ones, and unfortunately some young people too.... some were sick, others disappeared all of a sudden due to an accident or a disease...
Life is hard sometimes, also unfair.... but this is LIFE!

I wonder if they can still see or feel us from wherever they are...

That is too depressing to list or even think about and count.

I am almost 75, and lost many....some I cared, and some I did not.

I am focusing on the life around me. Two great grown kids, four wonderful grandkids, and a marelous lil great grand-son.

More friends than family members have perished. I have been intimate with 3 who have died at a young age. I thought maybe it was their encounter of me? lol They are always in spirit though no matter what. :D

Post by: linderlizzie on December 14, 2017, 01:05:48 pm
Parents, aunts, uncles, friends, and so on. I never stopped to count them all.

It's devastating either way you look at it.  :'(
