get a bad feeling of some sort when someone passes away? I don't know why, but whenever someone around me, or someone I know dies, I always wake up with a REALLY bad feeling of wanting to retch, or something...I'm only asking cause it's happened with the deaths of
My sister (when I was 11),
my neighbour, Kyle (when I was 12)
my parent's friend, Fleet (who just died last night)
my stepdad's adopted brother, Steve (last year)
an old friend of mine, Nathan (the same day as the guy above this),
Brooke Bennett (just this June)
I think there may be more, but I can't recall them all right now.

But my question is, does anyone else get something like that?

I've been lucky to not have had many deaths in my life lately.
But I'm sorry for your loss.

You're feeling sadness and sorrow and perhaps regret, if I were to diagnose it (although I may be wrong). Personally, I have never experienced death in any manner. Nobody I have ever met has ever died. The closest death to me has been the death of the mother of my best friend, although I never met the woman. Such ostracism from death has caused me to obtain a complete and utter detachment from the phenomena; I have no idea how to react when a death occurs. When my friend told me her mother died, it was incredibly hard to become sympathetic.

However, in your case, you have experienced many very close deaths, and as such you have become sensitive and understanding to death itself. It's normal--and socially expected--to grieve under the circumstances of a relative death. I would grieve until the sands of time blew away (and then some) if somebody I knew died.
