Being an immortal among mortals means you lose a lot of people. Some mortals have experienced that level of loss too, either due to older age or circumstances in their life, so it's not something that is unique to immortals, but being immortal makes constant loss a certainty. It's always present in our minds, the losses we've suffered, the losses we will suffer.

It's something we learn to handle, and how well we handle it... like anyone, we have bad days, days where the sadness is overwhelming. But we also have many good days, happy days.
