Embracing Acceptance: A Personal Journey of Mortality and Legacy

Life is unpredictable and often full of the unexpected. The reality is that every individual, at some point, faces the inevitability of their own mortality. This is a personal account, reflecting on the feelings, emotions, and thoughts one may experience in the face of such a reality.

Mortality and Life Insurance

Life insurance companies often deal with the fact that people will inevitably pass away. However, the thought of death is not usually a comfortable one. The reality is that 99% of people know that I dislike crying, and I wish to ensure that when my time comes, I will have a funeral filled with vibrant disco lights and even have someone put a jetpack on my body to fly around the room. Everyone can cry later. This will turn the 'funeral' into a 'fun' event. No youd be stiff.

Although the idea of death may seem daunting, it is important to accept it as a natural part of life. The thought of leaving behind less drama in the daily lives of those one loves is comforting. However, it is also a bittersweet reality that some family members and even friends might find it difficult to accept my passing.

Family and Loss

Some of my family on my mother's side might not be able to cope well with the news, while others might not have close ties with me. I would be the classmate who died young for my friends who barely knew me. They would never know me as a professional psychologist or a loving wife and mother. Being frozen in time for them and them forgetting me is something I can accept gracefully. I do not expect to be deemed important enough to make the world stop for my departure. All I can hope for is to spare those left behind as much pain as possible by ensuring nothing is left unsaid and no enemies remain.

I understand that my mother has been dealing with depression, and it's unclear if she truly loved me as much as I once did. For my father and brother, the pain might be lessened if they move on swiftly. Some of my friends might mourn for a short while but will eventually move on. And I hope they do. I don't presume that the world should stop for my death.

Mourning and Legacy

The act of paying tribute to a loved one can be a profound moment, filled with a multitude of emotions. I remember a time when I offered flowers to a friend, offering a silent tribute. I wanted to express my feelings without words, allowing the act of paying tribute to convey the meaning of my loss and acceptance.

In the face of mortality, it is crucial to embrace acceptance. By accepting the reality of life and death, we can live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. This acceptance allows us to cherish the time we have and ensure that we leave behind a legacy of love, compassion, and understanding.
