Celebration.

Wtf, honestly people need to stop with the bullshite.

How long do you want to live to be,100? Ask most 90 year olds, they will say “kinda wish I would have died before my friends and a couple children and a grandchild did”

We all die, it’s inevitable. Why we believe that being a shell of yourself, soiling your diapers, hating pretty much everything you “need to learn how to do” to live your last few years is somehow a great thing that people who croak a decade or two earlier will “miss”.

Death is peace. All your horrible memories are gone, all your worries, over. Even the good things are fleeting. Don’t see death as bad, see it for what it is….the end…a peace no one else can comprehend while alive.

Have you ever experienced loss of a loved one? Its easy to think about it logically when you haven't experienced loss, but no matter what, you can't remove the emotions of it.

I agree that you have to also celebrate their life, but that doesn't make it hurt less. My mom lost her mom in the early 90s and she still has moments where she says "I wish my mother was here to see this".

Kids having their first day of kindergarten is inevitable, but it is still an emotional moment for parents.
