Once loved ones or you had something serious at mostly any age this feeling will creep in. I had a bout with cancer at 35 and had friends die from different things (mostly suicide) that I have been feeling privileged for being alive since my mid thirties (I am in my 50s now). I think it was a gift... and a curse, to be ill quite young; nothing that other people care so much about during their 'working years' means anything in the grand scheme of things.
