preparing for death
When my grandfather died, he did not leave any will or any instructions. My grandmother had to deal with death taxes and other matters that could have been sorted out had my grandfather been more prepared. My grandmother learned from this painful experience so she set about preparing for death immediately. When she died three years after my grandfather, her will was ready, she had funeral arrangements already made and even had her tomb ready with her name and birth date. My mother also learned from my grandmother so she herself has been slowly preparing for death as well.
Preparing for death requires a great amount of courage and strength. For people with terminal illnesses, it can be very difficult. A common medical instruction is whether to resuscitate or not. When preparing for death, one must start with a will. A will should provide instructions for a person’s possessions and family members. Another preparation would be to make mortuary and funeral arrangements. But the best way to prepare for death is to tell your loved ones how much you love them and to ask for forgiveness from those whom you have wronged.
