Why does the death of someone close hurt so much more than other deaths?
The first reason for sorrow is 'mine'
Injuries, accidents and deaths happen every day, yet we are not sad every day. We become sad when something happens to one of our own, and the first reason for sorrow is the belief 'this is mine'.
What is sorrow? It is 'this is mine', and when something happens to it, you become sad. Injuries happen every day, accidents happen every day, people die every day, yet we are not sad every day.
