Hi Inji,

It doesn't have a place in my practice. I don't fear the process of death itself, because dying is something we all have to do at some time or other - and it happens all around us in one way or another.....so hopefully I will be able to just let go when death arrives.

As I have been a nurse all of my adult life and been involved around many individual's deaths in lots of different ways, including both of my parents and most of my birth relations now, I also do not have the type of fear which comes from the unknown, the unexpected or the unwanted. In terms of my practice, I do think that making and regularly updating preparations, such as wills, other legal considerations, any ceremony or specific details for remains, belongings or future responsibilties once I have died is skillful - for me it is an important part of trying to live each day as if it is my last, in that if it is, I do not have any regrets, as I have done, said and given to my best capacity at this time ... mind you sometimes this may leave a lot to be desired and my limitations may be oh so obvious - hopefully, I will have more time to practice.
