It is quite normal to feel a sense of loss when you read an Obit about someone who has been important in your life. You are certainly not an old fool. You're probably also grieving the passage of time.
When a member of TOTV shares that they have a medical problem, or that they've lost a family member or a pet, I feel a real sense of pain. Even if I've never met the writer. If someone has written a moving tribute to their pet, sometimes I cry. It's a normal part of life to grieve losses.
