]]> Death has always scared me, as a child I just comprehend what happened. I think when people have died around me the fact that death scares me makes coping with their loss more difficult because I fear for them.

Last night I was watching Desperate Housewives and Edie died. She said something that stayed with me

“Its not hard to die when you know you have lived”

The reason why is that it reminded me of Dad dying. He said on his third to last day when I asked him if he had any regrets

“Why would I ? I have lived the most wonderful life, had the most wonderful family – when I go to sleep I will have so many Caught in a Barbed Wire Fencememories to keep me warm.”

Maybe we should not fear death, we should fear not living?
