My father was an undertaker. We lived over the business. By my rough estimation I have been housemates to 3200 corpses in my basement. I lived on the third floor. I also did about 200 "removals"ie, pick ups from the hospitals, nursing homes and private houses with him. SOME WERE STILL QUITE WARM. He REALLY enjoyed this part of the business. WOW! For me, meh! In fact as you can imagine funerals were very "festive" times for us on the third floor.Each funeral gave my father the opportunity to put his daughter, son and grandson through college that much easier. Perhaps this has made my view of death different than the average PHer or SADEer. When my life gets bleak, I practice the Buddist meditation tool of thinking about my own death. It WORKS EVERYTIME. I cheer right up! Perhaps it's easier when death has such positive connection to your life. Also it help to know EXACTLY what death looks like! Weird huh!... The better my health gets on the Paleo diet and on mercury/lead/ aluminum chelation my view (fear) of death lessens further, since my bodymind feels twenty years old again. I am returning to that youthful naivety. I am not trying to stop what is occuring. Time enough later to worry about death. When I spend 24/7 in this Paleo/chelation zone, there is little time to think about death. I sort of wasted my first 55 years, walking aroung sick/toxic. I am ready to start living for a change.
