should younger people or older people live?

Recently,i've been reflecting about this particular thing and i'd like to share it and know everyone's perspective.

Most people,when it comes to someone dying,are more sad if that person was young because they had their whole lives ahead of them. this is very true but i have been making some thoughts also about when someone older dies.

i have read a person on a reddit forum saying that adults have more friends,a partner,they have realized and created more things than younger people. this is true and an interesting opinion.

also,if someone's kids die, the parents lives will be destroyed and never the same again. this is huge.

more often,I AM NOT SAYING ALWAYS but sometimes,kids can still have a good life even if their parents are dead. especially if they were young at the time of the tragedy. but some people can be completely ruined. my grandma was ruined forever by her parents death,a friend of my family lost her mother when she was very young and her dad as a teenager,but now she says she has a good life and she is brilliant at school and did fantastic things in life,she also helped people.i am not saying there is not a trauma,of course. i am very interested in psychology and how you became the person that you are today. i always discuss it with my therapist.

i think it's absolutely impossible to have an opinion about this,but you all can try. i dont have an opinion but making thoughts about these two perspectives is very interesting.

The death of parents is devastating if a son loved his parents. The death of a child is a pain that I could never bear. These are pains that never go away. If you are a self-centered and selfish person you can live the same. Instead, if you have a heart it will bleed until the last of your days

true. i would kill myself if my mom died. What I mean is that some people, not everyone though,can heal and still have a good life. with that horrible trauma,but they can still do something. there are many people that lost their parents but managed to get better and have a life. i dont think that if you get better you are selfish. your parents would like to see you happy,not destroyed.

its different for everyone. for me as i said,i could never heal. i would seriously kill myself.

You can have a life if you find someone who loves you. But it's not the same life you had before. Dice un proverbio italiano: chi muore giace; chi vive si dà pace. Io non riesco a darmi pace. Non voglio nemmeno darmela perché non posso dimenticare

true. your life will never be the same again.

sentirai sempre un pezzo di te che manca e che niente potrà mai riempire. nemmeno un marito o una moglie o degli amici.

Sei saggia, ragazza italiana 🙂

If my parents would die i would live every day and try to do that day in a way that makes them proud. And every day i would talk about that day at our alter because that is our tradition to make an altar for people who died and you have photos of them. It is in the living room always because that is the most important room and they should be in the room to also be there with you. And i try to make them proud the best that i can EVERY DAY and think about it with everything that you do. But i would not live in my house anymore because that is impossible. So i would live with my uncle and aunt or in another place maybe. So EVERYTHINGG becomes different.


If i would die than i dont know what my parents would do. I think also that my photo would be on the altar i think and that they give blessings. I dont think that it is less worse if i die or my parents. I think it is the same. If you love somebody and that person dies i think age does not matter and it is always painful that it never heals like @Roseeeee and @Pennarossa2024 said.

Normally it is better for the parents to die first. Unfortunately, sometimes the children die first. Life is a mystery. Death too

That is true BUTTT if your parents die and you are not 18 yet you will loose your parents AND your home AND a lot of other things. In your head i think you loose everything. 🙁 🙁 🙁 I dont know if i can handle that and i think maybe others too.

The dead can survive as part of the lives of those that still live. There is no perfect age for death. Every and each death is way too early in the hearts of loving and beloved ones. Now here comes the mighty "but". When it comes to the grief of losing a child, everything changes. It feels like living with million broken pieces of glass in your lungs. Each and every breath you take, makes you bleed. Death is no surprise, a natural element in our existance but dying in each and every day is another level.

Death is an important part of life. Without it, everything would be meaningless, so you shouldn't resent or be afraid of death. Of course, it's always sad when someone passes away, but I think never healing from it or killing yourself because of it is way too excessive, and maybe even selfish. When you die, you just go to another step of life, it's not that big of a deal.

There are good and bad parts about death. Some people only see the downside that their loved ones left them, but there is a good side too. Older people have seen a lot of stuff, have plenty of regrets, and some are even sick and suffering. Younger people have seen and done less, and that's the good thing, because since they haven't seen the bad side of everything, they die thinking the world is beautiful. In those cases, isn't death a relief?

I understand what @diogenes_cask says about if your child dies that you feel like a million broken pieces of glass are in your lungs. But i think the same is the other way around. Maybe if you are older than 18 and you live in your own place and you have a job or your study you know what to do and you are strong. But if you are not at all like that and both your parents die and you loose them AND your house AND everything else at the same time you would not be able to think anymore i think. ANDDD in my case but i think also others the people who you can always trust and you know are behind you and support you without judging are always your parents. BUTTT suddenly that is gone. Now you need to do that alone. And everything changes at that moment too and you dont even know what to do and what you have to begin. For me that is the biggest nightmare.
