    My cousin died he was not so close to me but it somehow hurt.
    At first I was really scared of death but now I'm not, I learned that I had to be ready for anything without fear,to live everyday as my last.

    I lost my great grandma when i was around this age, and have lost a lot of relatives since then, so i've always had a pretty good understanding of death.

    I was 30. Until that age, my understanding was that when you die, you end. But when I was 30, I learned that only the body dies, just like everything else material, but the soul, the active principal within the body, does not die, because it is made of energy. Since energy can neither be created nor destroyed, the ME within the temporary body also is never destroyed. Death, then, is simply moving out of this body.
