However, just like studying your history will (hopefully) help you to prevent making future mistakes. Being aware of death, might help you to lead a more fulfilling life.
I've adapted a strategy for dealing with stressful situations, that directly references death:
When you are stressed out about something that seems incredibly important (at the time), and it's going around and around in your mind. Just think, one day I will die. How important is this, really? And poof! Whatever it was, really in the grand scheme of things, not important at all.
Missing loved ones is extremely difficult. The only small piece of advice I can share is; live with honor and intention. Your Loved one would have done the same, and remembering them as you walk through life, being an honorable, intentional person is the only way I know to never let them die.
