How To Plan For The End of Your Life

The journey of one's life can take many twists and turns and is filled with opportunities and challenges. One of the last challenges and often the one we are the least equipped to cope with is Death. If it is approached as one of life's transitions and some of the mystery is taken out of it we can embrace it as a part of life instead of fearing it.

It is time to shine the light on death and realize that it is the second most important time in our life, the first being our birth. Life is full of constant change the most far-reaching of which is loss. We are confronted with the comings and goings of things in our lives from the time we are born until we transition to different place.
