Death, Be Not Sad

There's been another death in the family. 1st uncle died a short while back. I felt nothing. I guess it's coz I barely knew the man, and I feel no personal attachment to him whatsoever. Now, it's rather apparent that being sad around death has little to do with the fact that someone died, but that there was a sort of affection felt towards that person that creates a sense of loss when that person is unable to respond at all.

It's sort of like a coma from which a person never regains consciousness. The only real difference is that there's always that sneaking hope that a person will awaken even from a brain-dead coma, but a dead person never wakes up...or rather, isn't supposed to wake up.
