The time has come for people to make their New Year’s Resolution, choosing ways to make the coming year better. Let this year be the year we let go of the fear of death. The fear of death can lead us down strange alleyways as we try to avoid the finality death. All logic tell us that one day we will die, and our family and friends will have to create a memorial for us. Those of us who have gone through the process of taking care of the many things after a loved one has died, know how unpleasant that can be. Let this year be the year that we gently allow ourselves the gift of looking at death and deciding what kind of death and memorial we want. I promise that once you have a written plan in place, not necessarily a prepaid plan, but a plan nonetheless, you will feel calmer and maybe peaceful. You might even feel the freedom to live the life you have always wanted to live. Be gentle as you go. Death is a big topic and often overwhelms us. Take small steps; think about who you are and what kind of final word you wish to leave for your family and friends. Think about what is most important to you and if you want to leave a smaller impact on the earth in death, what steps you need to take. Remember, a memorial is your final word on the earth. Take the steps that will allow you to express that word. Read some of the books on our reading list, and download our planning form as a place to start.
Let 2015 be a good and prosperous year for all of us.
