OPINION: There's something especially tragic about early, untimely death; about being forced to consider the potential lost in a life not quite fully lived.
Then there is the oddity that she is the third of the show's actors to have passed at a very young age. Co-stars Cory Monteith died in 2013 of a drug overdose and Mark Salling died by an apparent suicide in 2018.
With celebrities, the feeling may be heightened, because they are, after all, larger than life and often present us an idealized image of a life we might aspire to. The death of anyone reminds us: What have we not done, what could we be doing? Should we re-prioritize our lives? And we've already seen a lot of that happen during lockdowns and dislocation from our families, friends and jobs.
Humans are wired to plot and fret so much about the future, but what Covid has shown us, and what young death shows us tenfold, is that we can't know what will happen tomorrow. Learning to live in the now becomes essential.
