    folks, death is not something we talk about ever at all until...it happens.
    Is there a good way to talk about it?

    Unsure, I guess now that you speak of it... I've Stage IV Brain cancer, was given a year to live a year and a month ago. I'm still alive and kicking though. I try to let people know after they know me, or a community know... before I put down too deep of roots. I'm just like a tumbleweed at the moment. Death to me is nothing to fear at all...or dread...

    The best way to talk about it is to plan to celebrate the life that is still left.

    Welcome to the forums :)

    I think that it is something that is hard to talk about for most people.

    some people who are in danger of dying want to talk about it, and some don't

    if the person who is in danger of dying is a friend or family member, I think it's best to let them know that you are available to listen, but not try to push them to talk if they don't want to

    a therapist who specializes in grieving might be good to talk to about these sorts of things

    it's maybe one of the least happy intros, but I would say it is one of the better intros rather than the worst

    it's not really the sort of thing that you would say at a cocktail party.

    it is, however, something that has sparked some dialogue about something really important

    so maybe this is even the best intro ever

    I much prefer something like this to the typical intros we get of people talking about how they like to get wasted or the weird sex acts they're into
