I've been thinking about loss a bit lately. I've never had someone I was very close to die. A relatively distant uncle I was fond of is about the limit. But I'm getting older, and saying goodbye to some of the people you love - picked randomly - seems to be an inevitable part of that. I share things online with a circle of about fifty people. Assuming you're all about the same age as me, the chances of at least one of you dying in the next decade is 48%. The chances of at least one of the eleven people I would consider my immediate family dying in the next decade is 49%. The chances of my dad dying some time in the next ten years by itself is starting to push 20%. I don't think I am ready for it. We'll see.
