The show helped me deal with death in real life

So my dad has a group of friends he's been friends with since the 1970's. One of them passed away exactly a year ago. For context, this woman and her husband came to see me when I was a baby right when I got out of the nicu. They were like my aunt and uncle. Today we sat at her husband's (now widower) place and looked at old pictures of her and all of the friends group. Then I suddenly thought, hey, it's like the title cards of the show. And I felt less sad.
