2009 = The Year of Death?

I think I have been surrounded by death in 2009. Just a few weeks ago, I counted that I lost 2 friends. On the 27th of May, I received another bad news that my own mother passed away. After several days of getting myself busy and a couple of sleepless nights without any internet access, I found out that another of my ex-colleague also passed away on the same day as my mom.

What a year!!! Is 2009 the year of death of the year of ox?????

i've lost four friends in three months-i've been calling it the year of death myself. a psychic on tv said it would be the year that many people left the earth-i guess he was right!

i was about to write something on my blog about how 2009 seems to be the year of the Death! & came across your blog

i myself lost, in this order, my fish pet, my Father!, one of my closest friends lost her Dad too, and her 16 year old dog, also my best friend lost his beloved cat of many years, a couple of acquaintances from Mexico have passed away too, even Michael Jackson died!! and this is only the 1st half of the year? I only hope the 2nd half is not as bad

my condolences for your mom lost and hoping this year is over soon :(

Thanks, everyone. I hope the 2nd half of the year will be better too. I hope all of you as well as your family members will be fine too.

I googled "2009-Year of Death" because I've been thinking the same thing. My brother died in April so suddenly from a preventable disease (typhoid) yet he was on medication. He was healthy and doing things as usual so it came as a huge shock to me. During the funeral meetings, many people were also going to other unrelated funeral meetings. Within that period, I knew of 12 people who had died. Our family friend had just come burying her nephew before coming to bury my brother then a few days later, her son died. A few months later, her brother died. Then yesterday, my father died. I truly think something is amiss- its so weird. Before this, no one I knew was dying but when 2009 set in, it seems like everyone is dying and the strange thing is that they are dying from easily preventable illnesses, not chronic stuff like AIDS and cancer. My advice for all reading this is to look inwards and set their lives straight with Jesus Christ coz we can die at any moment but where will your soul be in eternity? I was encouraged with my brothers death because God had told him to pray and seek repentance before his death and I'm certain he's in heaven. The same happened with my dad before he passed. This is what gives me the comfort coz I am certain they're in heaven and as long as I remain in salvation in Jesus Christ, I know I'll meet them there one sweet day. I hope whoever reads this will do the same and accept Jesus in their hearts. God bless you all.

It's the year of death. I'm death, and I've been summoned all over the world, not just the United States, but the US has gotten me pretty overworked! I will tell you this, there will still be more on my list, I still have October, November, and December that I'll be touching people, and they'll meet their maker.

me and my family have been thinking the same thing,it is a terrible though but 2009 is really the year of death. Many people have passed on. My aunt died a little over a month ago. She was a Mother a,a sister,a lover,and my best friend. As if that isnt enough four other people close to my family have passed on. Including stars,micael jackson,farrah faucet,patriic swayze and so much more
