I had to face the issue in a mild form last year…

when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in its very early stages. While I was at no immediate risk since the tumour was extremely small and contained and my prognosis after my surgery is extremely good, one's response to the "Big C" diagnosis always brings up a lot of issues about mortality.

I'd faced similar issues 5 years ago when my wife was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour, and during her last months. She provided an extremely good example for me with the way she made the most out of life until the very end by just putting as much as she could into the normal everyday things of life and caring for her friends and family including me.

I think the big issue is not about fear of dying as about why we really don't live as fully as we can while we can. Dying doesn't particularly worry me though I'd certainly rather it didn't occur anytime soon. As various people have said at various times, "it's the last thing I'll do" and it's also the "only thing I'll ever do perfectly" when the time comes. Between now and then, however, is a time for living and that is hard to do well for all of s. There's a lot more to worry about with the living than the dying, and that thought helps me puts thing in a much better focus.
