I'm sorry to hear about your losses. Love is beautiful but can also be a curse. It's fascinating and dark how a human can wither to the point of dying when they lost a loved one.
There is someone that is VERY VERY VERY dear to me, that has been between life and death many times. I dunno what it would do to me if I knew that person was dead, but I always had a feeling that person would die old and wrinkly in a bed in a very long time.

I always shared @cjko 's view in being the "unlucky" one but that's partially my fault. Life fucked me over oh so many times and when it does, my 1st impulse is look for a reason on why that happens and I often find myself thinking I wasn't good enough and that's why X or Y happened. When such situation happens it's like a nightmare, I hope that I fall asleep and that it will be gone, but when reality strikes you once more, it's like you took a punch i your guts.
Life can be both beautiful and a gift but dark and a curse, it's up to us to know how to follow teh right path!
