Prepared for the end
Prepared for the end
Being prepared for death leaves more room for living. Think how you would take the news from a doctor who has to give it every day.
Take it like the doctor gives it
A doctor who tells people every day has had to make peace with it to keep doing the job. Think about how you would take the news from them, calmly, before you ever need to.
Insignificant, and that is fine
I have been to enough funerals to say I am insignificant, with confidence. Funerals are very grounding. We get one chance, and every life is a daily struggle. Making the most of the options you have is the difference.
The hospice
Money alone cannot buy a place in a hospice. It is charity, and perhaps the best place to spend your last weeks. If you are giving, that is somewhere worth thinking about.
What is coming
I have only had my heart broken once, and that was also grieving a dog. I feel prepared for what is coming with my parents. Being prepared is not the same as being cold. It leaves room for the rest.
Talk it through
The SI guide can help you think about your own version of this. It is not James, and not a professional of any kind.
