I laugh about it sometimes, but it's still often a hollow kind of laugh. I firmly believe that laugh will get less and less hollow as the years pass on, and as the mystery and finality of death becomes increasingly familiar and commonplace.
My personal goal is to die laughing.
Stay strong.

Well said.
I have not come to grips with it so much, but I am working hard on living life with no regrets, trying to knock out everything I want to do while I am still able. I have had a few checks lately with people around me passing, not necessarily close friends, but people in the same circles, and every time it makes you think a little bit more about your own mortality, and what you still want to see in this life.
As I tell people that ask about some of my extreme activities, I do not fear death, I fear dying painfully.
