Truth #4: With the second anniversary of my mother's death in a few days, death has been on my mind a lot lately. I know death is a difficult concept for everyone from the time we are small children until our final days. Maybe it isn't meant for us to actually understand it, but sometimes we go from fearing it to actually welcoming it depending on our circumstances and health problems. Over the course of our lifetimes our views on death may change, but one thing for certain, the topic death makes people uncomfortable even though it's something each of us will experience at some point. It's inevitable! So with this truth I know we can cheat many things in life, but there's one thing that no one can ever cheat and that's death.
I don't fear my own death (and cannot remember doing so). I do fear (and mourn) the deaths of those dear to me.
ReplyDeleteLikewise.
Deletelove this meme. I do not wish to die yet but I can see that there will be a time when I will be ready to let go...you know like if I ever watch the news I'm ready.
ReplyDeleteI wish they'd put some feel good stories on the news especially this time of year.
DeleteMay we be ready when that time comes.
ReplyDeleteI think most people are ready when their time comes except those people who die unexpectedly.
