RE: Death after Life: Dealing with disaster before it happens
So happy to hear your friend is safe. I think it's natural for our thoughts to go first toward the people we know and live when we hear bad news. I know I do this when I hear about car accidents on the news in areas where my loved one live. However, I don't know how much it's possible to prepare ourselves for tragedy.
I do not think I can actually prepare for the tragedy itself nor the emotions etc that arise from such events but, I think it is possible to stop the mind from panicking and still think somewhat clearly even when surrounded by turmoil. Some see what I do as a desensitisation but I see it as becoming more sensitive as I will hopefully be able to utilise more of my range rather than have my thoughts and actions be based on only the emotional sides.
It's a worthwhile pursuit. And a very heartfelt and compassionate one. I think you're loved ones are lucky to have someone like you.
