Irvin Yalom. Executioner of love (№ 454754)

You know, none of those who were adults when I was a child remained alive. So as a child, I'm dead. Someday, in forty years, there will be no one alive who ever knew me at all. That's when I'll die for real - when I no longer exist in anyone's memory. I thought a lot about the fact that some very old person is the last person alive who remembers another person or a whole circle of people. When this person dies, this whole circle also disappears from living memory. I asked myself, who will be the last person whose death will make me completely dead?
