Death is as natural as breathing but no one really wants to talk about it or acknowledge that it exists. However, when you are growing older, your mortality starts rearing its head your way and you find yourself more and more thinking about the future and your plans in preparing for that eventual death.

Avoidance will not prepare you or loved ones for your death. Some people believe that talking about death is opening them up to pain and suffering. It is actually quite the opposite. By expressing your life wishes to loved ones, you are preparing them for the time something happens to you. Sharing what you want will help them make the right decisions for you.
