Whether you choose to think about it or not,... - Deepstash

Whether you choose to think about it or not, you and those you love will die someday. I don’t say that to be morbid, but rather because acknowledging and talking about it actually makes death a little easier. That’s because knowing what to expect helps you not be so blindsided when it finally comes for you.

BJ Miller and Soshana Berger’s A Beginner’s Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death contains the advice you need to prepare for death. Although it may sound intimidating to think about death, I promise that doing so will help you live a better life.
