There comes a time in everybody’s life when you suddenly realise that one day – you will die.
You have this concious thought that you will not live forever and that the clock is counting down the days until you will ‘cease to be’. You are but a mere mortal and one day, everything will come to an end.
You have realised your own mortality!
Depending on the person, this is a tough realisation and it takes a bit of time to work through and accept. For some it is but a fleeting moment, for others it can take years to process and compartmentalise and digest and accept (or not as the case may be).
But what about those around you? Have you ever given any thought as to how your ‘new realisation’ might be affecting them?
