Quote

Society doesn't like to deal with death, but it is a natural part of living.

Dealing with death is there forever, really, you know, because we all have to face it.

Death always seems to be around me.

That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.

I've worked very hard to become comfortable with how death works and why it happens. I now know that death isn't out to get me.

Even if we are dead we help each other in some little way.

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.

For a culture that has such a problem with death, we seem to deal with it in a quite bizarre way. We see people shot, killed and blown up, and we find it funny and sexy and all those things. But, the reality of it is that every day people die, and people are really sad and they grieve and they go through a really difficult process with it.

I think there is, in our society, there is a growing fear of death, a fear of the circumstances in which I might die, a fear I might be over-treated or under-treated. But fear is always a bad guide. Death is part of life.
