I was always comfortable with the whole death thing. I'm 24 and I have been to more funerals at my age than a lot of people go to their entire lives. Mostly family members. That's one drawback of having a big family that is close. Lost a cousin and my grandmother to cancer. Another cousin and my uncle beat their cancer though. The biggest toll it takes is on the family of the person. Always hard to lose someone close, but as you said, just a part of life.
