Ken, so very sorry to hear you have lost another family member.
Yes, as we get older we go through a lot of these experiences. It is a part of life.
I have seen a lot of my family pass away. I just recently lost another of my Aunts. I only have 1 left alive now and she is not well. I only have 1 uncle left too. My grandparents are gone. So is my Mom.
Watchtower has told people that they "will not grow old in this system of things". Yet as each day passes, we are all 1 day older.
About 4 years ago I think it finally dawned on my Father that he is going to, one day, die.
No one lives forever.
