Is it noramal to imagine the deaths of people i love dearly?

Somethimes I will imagine that someone I love has died and wonder how distraught I would be at their death, how sad, if I would cry. I end up feeling a bit sad and then have to remind myself that they are still alive. Other times I will imagine my own death and wonder how many people would come to my funeral. Then I'll think about someone else and wonder if they would have more or less people at their funeral. I hate it when I think like this but it just happens.

    I do it. It makes you feel like you have more control over your life because the day will come when some of them will actually leave you. Your thoughts result from that fear. Poets write about death all the time because it is the most universal topic there is.

    It's perfectly normal to be interested in 'what comes after', in your case, what funerals will be like. In others, heaven and hell.

  • I've done this too. It's probably that subliminaly, you're afraid of losing them. Not a big probably that you ponder it, though, as long as it isn't ruling your life.

  • I've done that in the past, but I assure you when your close fam member does die the pain is like nothing you've ever felt before. Trust me, Im going through it now. Just lost my younger brother (age 24).
