Going back to Neph’s blog about death (24.01.2011), I see now that her point of view concerned more the feelings of the accompanying people then these of the main person, the dying one, while my blog concern more what I will myself feeling at my last moments. In one phrase : the most important is what happens when you are with someone dying, helping him or her to cross the border between life and death, not what will happen with the body afterwards.
The chance I have to have lived till now such a fine life is also that it seems to me that I’m better prepared to what will once happen, and that I already reached the 5th stage of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book, On Death and Dying : Acceptance
From my own experience, everybody is going through these stages, more or less, alone or with<a name="OLE_LINK12"> accompanying people sharing with them their feelings. But the best way to go through it is to think of it in advance, to be prepared to live it and not to fear it.
