Talk about your death while you're still healthy (transcript)
Summary
This was a funny story and the speaker was a good story-teller with humor. It's a good way to tell people a difficult and sad story that is about death but we don't know that even if it's different and important for all of us. It's because people don't want to acknowledge death, we are all going to experience: death, though.
The speaker lost her father, however, her family and she were able to support dad's wishes about his death. Her father wanted to peacefully die at home and surrounded by family. He had a good death. It is just not the right time to talk about organ donation.
If you prepare nothing, people remember your wrong eulogy and your money go to the government when you die.
In fact, not only your life but also your family and people around you would be a lot easier to live if you talk about death with them.
we need to discuss the issue when we are healthy without fear. This is not just what important is but why important is have to be talked by us.
We have to talk what we want and how we want to be remembered when we die.
