The death of someone we know always reminds us that we are still alive

A family close to me lost their eldest grandson, aged 21, yesterday to the rat bacteria, known as LEPTOSPIRA interrogans.  He was admitted to hospital last Thursday,  put in the ICU on Saturday and passed away yesterday (Wednesday) morning.  Damage to his organs had spread very fast and he could not respond to antibiotics. The family is so devastated and I feel their pain.

The death of someone we know always reminds us that we are still alive - perhaps for some purpose which we ought to re-examine. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
