UNANNOUNCED DEATH

THE PASSAGE OF TIME ... 
By Bernard Bujold -
Two or three times a year, I like to go on Facebook or Google and try to find friends from my youth or forgotten cousins ... 
Often, unfortunately, I discover that the person I am looking for has been deceased, for a few years already! Each time, it gives me a shock because how could this person, whom I loved, die without my knowing it? 
Last year in 2019, after two months of unsuccessful searches for a former artist friend, I finally found out that she had died in February 2014! A few weeks ago while cleaning my storage locker, I discovered that a photographer I had collaborated with had died in May 2009. Now, on the last day of July 2020, I discover that one of my cousins whom I had frequented a lot during my childhood died in March 2017... 
How can all these friends die without letting me know?
