Some among us have a name for their death while most of us give it little thought. Some of those who know the name of their exit also have a time frame, but the rest of us live in the assumption of lifelong.   But Death, without malice, has each of our names and knows us well.  Most of us are willfully ignorant, choosing denial until reality forces our hand.  In choosing that rebuttal, we cheat ourselves of the meaning and power in our individual passing out of this life into the next. 

Or, we can shake Death’s hand, learn its teachings, and journey well together through a full life towards a good Transition.
