I believe we all must face the fact of death. It is both gift and curse.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dealing with death is there forever, really, you know, because we all have to face it.
Death is a companion for all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, whether we're aware of it or not, and it's not necessarily a terrible thing.
One of the greatest gifts we can give people is the hope that their death is nothing to fear - you know, not that it has no fear in it, but the promise of scripture is that God will lead us through the valley of the shadow of death.
We do have trouble dealing with death, but it's the one thing that is guaranteed we are all going to have to do, and we are going to have to face it many times before we die ourselves.
Death is a very important part of life.
Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.
It is only in the light of the inescapable fact of death that a person can adequately engage and enter upon the mysterious fact of life.
Death is not something any one of us want to dwell on, but we must all confront it at some point.
For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death (or of anything else) as natural, death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied.
While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die - whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness.
