Idolatry
Something I wasn't really prepared for is losing people you idolized...to age related issues. Actors and singers have a kind of immortality. The harsh truth doesn't hit you until many years later. In your mind they stay the same age as you remember, and then they succumb to an illness that is associated with advanced age.
'But he couldn't be more than...Oh wait, that was 20 (or 30, or 40, or 50) years ago'. A surprising number of the people I looked up to as a kid, faded from the public life, so they seem to die very suddenly. Even though I can relive their glory days, I'm still filled with a sadness knowing that is all that is left.
For my most recent departed hero.
