Been struggling with the idea of losing my loved ones in the future. I am more comfortable with the idea of my own death than I am of fact that I will more than likely outlive all my loved ones. I love them so much, and can't imagine a life without them.

I studied philosophy and university. I found some solace in Enlightenment(Kant, Hegel) and Existential thinkers(Paul Tillich, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky). However, they don't seem to get at the heart of the matter of the human condition. I grew up orthodox and it feels like home, despite my qualms about the existence of miracles.

Can anyone relate? Orthodox reading as well as stories of passed loved ones is much appreciated.

God bless and take care.
