More of a struggle than others.

I found out, last night, what happened to my young next door neighbor who pass on New Years. It's really tragic, he was riding his bike and hit a patch of ice and he crashed. I may have been the last person to see him alive as I saw him a few minutes before he went down the hill with his bike. Sad, he was in rehab but had been clean for a couple years and was pulling himself out of a hole. He was really trying, that's all I know about him, he's only been around for a month or so. I was stressing about that last night.

I have decided to let go of those who pass a little more easily from now on. I can't be devastated by each one such that I can't go forward for some amount of time. I'm getting old and my friends are going to pass and I have to have a more reasonable way of grieving without falling off the conveyor belt. Some important, to me, people are getting on in age so I have to be ready for it. I spent a lot of time getting over some of the covid deaths, I need a better way to get through the process.
