If Tupac is alive, then why haven’t we heard anybody about from a family …show more content…
When a person that’s old in age or a person who has a terminal illness dies, we are already prepared for it. It’s as though we were waiting for them to die because we knew their time was coming soon. Even though we are upset and crying, in the back of our minds we knew this was bound to happen. Now on the other hand, when someone dies unexpectedly, we are not prepared for this so we are more upset and hurt by it. We can’t register in our head that someone died just like that.
