"A person dies, or something you had..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle
A person dies, or something you had identified with completely is gone. Your home goes up in flames. There is extreme pain at first. But whenever a form dissolves, which is called "death," what remains is an opening into emptiness.

“As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.”
“Most humans live in the mindset that this moment is only important because it's getting them to the next one.”
“And since the now is all there ever is in your life, your entire life unfolds as the present moment. People don't realize it, but all they ever have is "this". This moment.”

“I may be older and wiser, I may have lived another life since then, but I know that when my time eventually comes, the memories of that day will be the final images that float through my mind. I still love her, you see, and I‟ve never removed my ring. In all these years I‟ve never felt the desire to do so.”
“Of all the ways to lose a person, death is the kindest”
