Imagine a world where we talked about and prepared for death just as much as we did for birth. We’d have hundreds and hundreds of books helping people prepare. In-depth descriptions and dialogue helping people prepare for death. Anyone who has given birth or been present during a birth knows it is not easy experience to go through, however, it is also magical and more often than not, a joyful experience welcomed by all.
We would have parties to celebrate people’s lives and our love for them. We would openly talk about death. People would openly share their experiences of how they dealt with the death of their loved ones. We’d talk about the good and bad experiences the good and bad experiences we’ve had when someone we know or love have died. Thinking about death and where we would go would help us learn to be thoughtful in our words and actions. Hold less grudges. Treat people better. Care less for material things and more for fulfilling relationships and experiences. Talking about death can help us live a life wherein there is no “when I have time…” or “in a few years…” because we come to realize how, death can come suddenly. Someone can be here one day and be gone the next. And that someone could be us.
From Easter spiritual perspective, death can be a joyful occasion. Sad, no doubt, for those being left behind, since we will miss the one we love. But death can be inspiring. Death can be liberating. Facing death can lead us to true happiness. Death is just part of our journey on this earth.
Here are some thoughts to consider.
