This could be a face-to-face meeting with the reality of your own mortality.
It doesn't have to mean you will 'die young'. But maybe the passing of someone close to you has suddenly made you aware of your mortality.
It is amazing how many young people cannot even think of their own physical passing, and it's usually at the passing of someone very close, that the first thoughts of it arise.
I must have been over 50 before I could actually relate in a realistic way, to the fact of my own passing from Earth! Even after a major car smash which should have taken me out....a drive-by shooting...and a tumour which if it bled out meant I had "20 minutes to live" (so the medical consultant told me anyway). My attitude basically was still that nothing could kill me.
LOL....and back then I would have hated it, and now I don't mind.
