I am troubled that we appear to be less and less willing to acknowledge honestly this natural and inevitable stage of life – everyone in the obits has “passed away,” “passed on,” just plain “passed,” or “gone to meet” somebody or other. It seems nobody dies any more; except, of course, we all do.
Your post reinforces the understanding that we live until we take our last breath, and provides support for an open conversation about an approaching death.
