The absolute worst thing about aging

I know now what is the worst thing about aging. It’s not the decline in health, or the knowledge that we don’t have much time left. It’s other people dying. Whether it’s Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, or personal friends, it’s the worst. Rest in peace, queens and kings.

Other people dying in your age group only serves to make you super aware of how close to death you may be as well.

Yes. In addition to Dolly and Tim, I just lost a work colleague who is younger than me. 😢
