Pimi later had to face grief again. The presenter’s second friend also died in a car accident, the third died from drugs and the fourth from cancer. Pimi had been laid to rest by four of his friends before he turned 30.
– At some point there was a momentary (feeling) that this will not end? Isn’t this bad news enough? Pimiā lists his current thoughts.
– It has been very important for me not to get bitter. We all die. I have never had any fear of death, but I have become aware of the limitations of life at a fairly young age, he continues.
Pimiä starts to cry when she says that she is grateful that she got to know those people before they died. The host believes that the tragic events have made him an even more grateful person who appreciates every day in his life.
The host hopes that his loved ones will also choose gratitude when the time comes for him to leave.
– For example, I wouldn’t want anyone to be bitter because I die. Life must go on. People can be remembered, and you don’t have to forget them, but you can’t stop living, he concludes.
