Life isn't fair. Bad stuff happens to good people. Just because something bad happens to you doesn't mean you're a bad person. Believe in yourself. I know, easier said than done.
It isn't cold, and I think you're right. You can't very well say "Screw [deceased's name] I'll find a replacement friend/family member" but what you say makes sense. I CAN look to the adventure of the future.
Thanks.
