sometimes, the most valuable lessons are the harshest ones. What’s a piece of brutal, no BS advice you think every younger generation needs to hear? It could be from your own experience, something you learned the hard way, or just a tough truth no one talks about enough. Let’s hear the cold, honest reality.

To add: knowing in advance that a death is imminent vs a sudden death is not easier. If you can, add people to your life. Loneliness makes loss even worse.

I think that depends on the death. My other grandmother who died a decade or so had significant dementia and hadn't recognized me in two years despite weekly visits. By the time she died I had already mourned her loss.
