“It was fated”, or “It was his or her time” is bullshit. How do you know it was fated or it was time? Balls.
How do You Prepare for the Eventual Death of a Loved One?
So, back to my question, how does one prepare for the eventual death of a loved one? I mean, is there such a thing? Would preparing for it make us live a little less, worried that the day would come? Or would it spur us into treasuring every moment with our loved ones while we still can? Have you spoken to your children, your wife, your loved one about death? Why not?
Death is inevitable. Spend as much time with your loved ones and let them know how much you love them – remind them as much as possible. Although it may not help you in preparing for eventual death, but it will at least cushion the blow of regret.
Do all you can NOW.

There is no exact way how to prepare for someone’s death. You’re right. Death is inevitable. Hence, treasure every moment with the people we love, do good deed and be good because we will never know our time..to, you know. Out of this world. Death is when we can no longer feel.. things. As we live, filled our lives with positive emotion. Be optimists regardless to the point of being annoying. At the end of it, funeral won’t be a place where you mourn and cry over your loved ones, but a time where you reminisce all the beautiful things you did with them and be thankful, because your loved ones lived such a meaningful life with you till the day he/she died.

Once I told my mum bout me wanting to donate my organs and be cremated if I ‘go’ first and got scolded nonstop by her. Haha!
I guess I told the wrong person then. >.<

AJ –
LaViaP – Yeah, very crucial.
xin – And if you’re meant to die, you die? LOL. I don’t believe in “fate”, unless you already know the fate people around you, it’s a conundrum. How do you know it’s fate, after the “fate” has taken place and not before?
jUjU – Agreed! Thanks for sharing.
Angeline – Oops! Haha! That is definitely not part of spending time with your loved ones.
