My father-in-law had another very close friend die this week. I tried to put myself in his place and imagine the fact that many of my close friends had died. I pictured myself going to one of my good friend's funerals.

It is so heart wrenching for our parents generation to lose people left and right.

I've heard people who've lived to be a hundred speak on TV and one of the things they said they had to learn was how to deal with loss. For the most part, they were faithful people who believed their loved ones had gone to a better place...it still hurts!

How do your parents deal with loss?
