As salam alykom
Sorry if this would sound depressing but we all need to be reminded.
Last week a friend called me to inform me about the death of the father of another friend. While at the same time my mother was recalling the moments of her little 2 year old son's death.
Sobhan Allah I felt it is just a moment that separates nothing from everything. This dunia is nothing that takes us to everything. After this moment, one is not called by a name, just did u get the corps, did u wash the corps, did u wrap the crops, then he/she is not even called a corps any longer, just carry the board, and put the board down. Then finally just lay the body in the ditch.
Sobhan Allah at that time, nothing matters any more, whether or not u had a car, whether or not u attained graduate, post graduate studies, whether or not u attained senior position, had a car or summer house. Nothing really matters not what u attained or couldn’t attain just what u earned of deeds Insh a Allah that matters at that time may Allah Makes it easy for all of us.

Wa 'alaikumus-salaam
You don't need to apologise for carrying out a command of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam): "Remember often the destrpyer of pleasures..." - DEATH.
Jazaakillaahu khairan ukhtee.
Here's something I wrote earlier this year:
Death
(January 15, 2005)
Yes, it's the unavoidable event, yet most of us think we are able to avoid it. It is the event that shall occur without prior warning, the event that shall take us all when we least expect it. It is the event that shall finalise our fate and confirm our one-way ticket back to our Creator. It is the event... that many of us fear most.
Why?
Is it because you're not 'ready'?
Is it because you'll miss your friends and family?
Is it because you don't want to meet your Lord?
Or is it.. because you don't wnat to think about that day.. that Day that you'll be informed of that which you used to do.
<b>Just think...</b>
The next time you go to buy some fancy clothes for that upcoming party, think about that white cloth. That white cloth that you'll be shrouded in when you die.
<b>Just think...</b>
The next time you wanna decorate your home, or move to a 'bigger place', think about that tiny little hole you'll be placed in. That hole which neither you wealth shall follow or benefit you. Will it become spacious for you, or will it be restricted and rib-crushing?
<b></b>
Just think...
That breath that you just drew in may be your last. Then what? What have you got to show for the time you've spent living in this world? What have you got to show for it?
<b>Just think...</b>

... Now act ...
