For me yes, I had a good traveling buddy that died in Jamaica leaving behind a 10yr old son. Leave on vacation and return in a pine box. She was very young, had a massive heart attack. The only comfort I found was that she died doing what she wanted to do and that was being in Jamaica. She made 3-4 trips per year, pure Jamaciaholic!
I vowed from that day that I would live my life doing the things that I wanted to do and also try to live without regrets. That was ONE death that literally changed my life in many ways. I must say that each death since always is a reminder to me that I must live life to the FULLEST, whatever that means to me!
