Dying Alone

I always would see people posting things like status updates, or notes/blogs posts or even pictures with quotes about dying and how everyone dies and alone and I would always think of how depressing that was. I assumed they meant that no one would come see them in their last moments and they'd simply lie in a hospital bed or somewhere and just...die. No one with them to say good bye, no family to kiss, no loved ones to smile at as you pass, you're just alone.

But I realized what they did really mean. Its not that you're going to be passing out of this world and into the next alone in a room or something somewhere but that as you make that journey, you make it alone. Its like walking out of one room and into another (for the sake of argument imagine this) and suddenly you're in a new and different room and everyone is still in the other one. You made the trip alone to arrive at your destination.
