Anyone else feel less afraid of death when someone they know dies?

One of my roommates died last night. He was a middle aged man who developed an acute illness. I've only known him a couple months. We had our disagreements but overall I enjoyed his company. We would talk and watch movies together late at night.

For some reason, death seems a lot less scary now.

Edit: I didn't realize I made 2 nearly identical posts. The other one had an additional detail. I knew the man a couple months.
