About This Quote
Time takes it all in the end. There is no escape from mortality. Everyone who ever lived has died and will die. The only thing that keeps us going is the thought that we might outlive our loved ones and then be reunited with them in some heaven or afterlife.
Unfortunately, this is a lot less likely than most people think it is. When we have to face the fact that our loved ones will die before us, we can become overwhelmed with grief for them. In fact, it’s not uncommon for people to feel so devastated by the loss of a loved one that they will do almost anything to ensure that their loved ones don’t die before them.
The only way that we can prevent this loss of loved ones from happening is if we live a full life and take care of ourselves while we are alive.
