Grief: anger, guilt and laughing at the wrong moment, sentence 12

Death often comes when people are not expecting it, so being away at that moment does not mean you did not love the person.

Who acts: Death, people, you · What happens: come, not expect, be, not mean, not love · To what, where: death, person · Speech: someone speaks here
