The Weight of Death

from Your Better Plan On It Podcast! · host Greg "Mac" McLean

Send us Fan MailI believe the "Weight of Death" is for real. The reason I believe this statement is because the loss of someone that you love and miss dearly can outweigh the loss of others that you love and miss dearly. For instance, I lost my  amazing Uncle Freddie Foster and my dear cousin Terry Carpenter within the last week who are actually blood relatives that I've known since childhood. On the other end, I just lost one of my greatest friends and Marine Corps Brothers, MGySgt William "Billy" Cotton. What's interesting is that his death weighs much more heavily on me than my uncle and my cousin's deaths. In any case, I am not exactly sure why such is the case and would appreciate anyone out there who can explain why I am having this experience. I mean, Billy and I go back 27 years of knowing each other and simply share an elite-level brotherhood that goes far beyond just a great friendship. For whatever the reason, I have yet to process his loss nor can I shake the weight of his loss. I know I will do so in due time, but it is so difficult at the moment and I need an answer. I know my prayers about why I feel this way will be answered from Above but I would also love anyone's feedback who may have been through this and understand how to explain it to me.Support the showThanks for watching and listening to the following social media platforms every Tuesday at 12pm PST:YouTube Channel: @GregMact5vApple Podcasts (including Overcast, Castro, Cast Box, Goodpods, True Fans)SpotifyPodcast IndexiHeartRadioPodcast AddictPodchaserDeezerPlayer FMFacebookLinkedInX
