Blog series on what happens at the moment of death

[icarus]

I have a friend who's very sick. She has stage four cancer, it was stage four the moment they discovered it, and the nausea has slowed her treatment schedule lately (though hopefully she'll be back on it).

Not coincidentally (I've talked to Jetsunma about her on Twitter), Jetsunma's giving teachings about what to expect at the moment of death.

What To Expect When You're Expecting ... (Death)

Sorry, couldn't resist the Cake or Death moment.

Of course, my first thought when you say "prepare!" is to write a will. Which I did (though I haven't finished because the website sneaks a charge in at the last minute even though it said it was free and darn it, isn't that just the way?). I know that if I contracted a deadly illness I would pro-cras-tin-ate about anything that reminded me that I had a deadly illness, so better to do it while I'm healthy.

And stock up on pillows.

No, really. Pillows. Read on.

I hope your friend can resume her treatments soon. I do know that even stage four is no longer that automatic death sentence it used to be. I will pray that to be the case for her.

Thank you. She explains that the trouble with her cancer is that it's spread in tiny little spots throughout her body.

She was able to resume treatment this week and we're praying, oh yeah, we're praying.
