It’s interesting that mortality–the bottom line of existence itself–has always been the “elephant in the room” that most people don’t want to face.

For us, it’s one reason we’ve always done what we wanted to do along the way, rather than waiting to “retire,” so acknowledging the inevitable has been very positive in our case. That, and our beliefs, (which I have no interest in debating here) have given us the answers we’re looking for, and is different for everyone.
