Subject: [gammapsinupes] Charles Blow's piece on the passing of his brother.
(PLEASE READ)
Brothers,
If you haven’t done so, please take a moment to read Brother Charles Blow’s
piece on the passing of his brother. Fredrick’s passing, along with Oscar’s
dad, are vivid and emotional reminders of why dying is a part of life.
Perhaps, on our weekly conference call, JP or EC or Bill Jessie can talk
about this process (transitioning) - from a Biblical perspective. Here is a
link to Blow’s piece Opinion | My Brother Died and Reminded Me of These Life
Lessons - The New York Times
The two graphs below really stand out!
The importance of end-of-life planning.
"My brother had neither an end-of-life plan nor a will. I am embarrassed to
say that neither do I. But that will be remedied immediately.
An end-of-life plan is important because your relatives need to know what
your wishes are in case, as was my brother’s case, you are being kept alive
artificially. What do you want to happen? Also, what are your wishes when it
comes to a funeral, memorial service and burial?”
