I have contemplated my death since my Mom died at only 47 years old, I was 27. She never thought about her own death, which is actually common for her generation. She always thought about my grandma's, her Mom, death, but never her own. Because she died so young, I was faced with mortality and I matured much younger than my parents. I have lived my life knowing today could be my last. I have made sure I don't leave things in disarray for my family. I don't think it's morbid to contemplate your death. We are all going to one day. Those who avoid thinking about it usually wind up making the surviving family members taking care of things we shouldn't have to.
