Getting comfortable with death is part of the process of both dying and living well. Fully embracing the reality that we have a finite time that we will be here on earth can release us from fears and anxieties that usually accompany thoughts of the unknown, freeing us to live more fully. There are ways that we can normalize death as a part of life so when our time or the time of our loved ones come we will find ourselves in a state of acceptance – and even gratitude – for what has been and what is now.
