        For most of human existence, death happened at home, and mourning happened at home. Funeral homes are modern phenomenon. This is just going back to basics.

        It’s physics. There is no actual death since energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It’s all just energy. Period. We are nothing more than atomic groupings driven by atomic intention to build a better energy collection, procession, application, and transmission machine.

        It’s better not to wonder. It’s better to do what you can in the one life you have as you wait patiently for the inevitable peace of death. The reward of heaven and the punishment of hell should not be required for you to act w kindness and love.

        On the day when death will knock at thy door what wilt thou offer to him? Oh, I will set before my guest the full vessel of my life I will never let him go with empty hands. 1/2 ( - Tagore from "Gitanjali", 1912)

        We should be talking about it much more. Everyone is so afraid to discuss it, and that's why there's such a culture of fear. We all die. If this was a more open topic, we could better confront our feelings of fear and loss, and prepare properly for when it is our time.

        I rather people learn what not to say when grieving after a parent dies. Death happens, family’s watch a parent die it’s emotional and draining. The conversation about grieving is important as much as the conversation about the right to die when suffering.

        I am torn on this issue. While death is an undeniable part of everyone's life, it feels wrong to focus on your own. But as a son whose mother passed away rather surprisingly last year, I wished I had focused on that event and it's possibility a lot more.
