This is poignant. Unfortunately, unless you are very lucky, everyone of us would have to go through this at least once, if not more times.

Death is a fact of life. Whatever your station in life, the time will come when death takes you by the hand. No one lives forever. Whether you are rich or poor, saintly or sinner, there will come a day when you say good bye to this world.

When we were born we came into being. When we die, we cease to be a being. Death is part and puzzle of life. Where there is life, there is decay, there is death. Life and death are two ends of the same process.

People are reluctant to talk about death. They find it morbid to be talking about death, when they feel fit and healthy. Some people are superstitious. They feel it is pushing their luck and encouraging bad luck when they talk about death. But being healthy is no guarantee that you will live to a ripe old age. Death can happen in the blink of an eye. You could be here one moment and gone the next.

People avoid talking about death like it were some shameful activity they engaged in and don't want to be found out. People should talk about death more. When you understand how fragile the human life is, how you can be called away, at any time, perhaps you will treasure your life a bit more. You will be more 'urgent' in living your life.

Talk to your children about death. Prepare them for death, theirs and yours. Let them know what sort of funeral you like to have when the time comes. Do you want a simple funeral, or do you want one with all the works. What do you want to do with your ashes? Spare your children the stress of having to decide what do do in their moment of grieve.

Do you think talking about death is morbid?
