Is it normal to have so many childhood friends die before they reach retirement age? We had four kids from our church die before they reached 21. This last death hit me pretty hard because we knew her so well for so many years and last year when I was home, we were talking about the fact that so many of the kids had died and another one had just been diagnosed with breast cancer.
‘’Is it normal to have so many childhood friends die before the reach retirement age’’.< Ordinarily no but it depends on the circumstances. I’ve given up on the number of old classmates and childhood friends I’ve lost in the last twenty years, most were barley in their fifties. A lot were from stupid choices like drugs and booze. Sad to think of the lives wasted and the potential lost.
