"Death is not an end in itself, merely a necessary part of life. Time is cyclical, not linear." (Kidwell 23)
I think this quote is very thought-provoking. In the past few years, I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with death. My husband and I have lost some very close relatives. Some have been sudden and some have been expected, all were unfair and you are never emotionally prepared for anything of that scale to happen in your life. I like this quote, in that it simply states that death is what it is. There is nothing particularly special about it but it is something that has to happen. I find peace in knowing that. It is comforting to think that death is not an end, rather it is an event in time. That maybe there is more out there and it is not a stopping point.

Thanks for sharing, Jennifer. And I'm sorry for your losses. Unfortunately, I can relate.
