You might just want to spend the time with your family, or be reunited with lost friends, or restore friendships that have been broken. Whatever it is you do, it would show where your priorities lie. I want to come back to the question of priorities in a minute. But first let me say a few words about death itself. We forget, don't we, or perhaps we don't like to think about it, that sooner or later, we are ALL going to die.
Nobody gets out of here alive.
In one sense, those who know they are about to face death are actually better off than the rest of us. Because we are in exactly the same position, only we don't know when it will happen. That's why it's so hard for us often to relate properly to terminally ill people - because it reminds us that we are also going to die. In our Australian culture we don't like to think about death. Put your super in this or that fund.
