you can't be prepared for death. It just happens, you can only deal with it as it comes. heck I could die tomorrow and not know or you might have passed on sometime after you wrote this comment and i would never know. It is a big part of life but there is no way to be prepared for it. Didn't michael jackson's death shock you? heck if he can go so easily and it sounds carelessly with all that money he has, anything can happen to us.

I have taken a dying and death class at my local community college and it was one of the most important classes of my life. Death is a big part of life and everyone should be prepared.

I feel lucky and privileged that people devote time to learning and teaching this invaluable subject. Although sobering, I'm grateful for the time and effort you devote to this important debate, by which we will all be touched.
