Inspiring Thougfits by Randy Minter CAN WE CHOOSE A TIME TO DIE? Many wonder whether a person could either consciously or subconsciously choose a particular time to die. According to anecdotal reports, some individuals have declared they only intended to live long enough to be alive for a certain event (such as the marriage of a child) before dying, and they did just that. One documented case in a respected medical journal told of a 40-year-old woman with chest pains, who told her nurses and clergyman that she intended to die exactly one week later, on the second anniversary of her mother's death. She did. And one study showed that elderly Chinese- American women postpone death until after the Harvest Moon Festival. Perhaps we have more control over our deaths than we might think. Honoring the life of your loved one means you value the relationship you shared. We look forward to helping you decide how to celebrate that bond, and honor the unique person you've lost.
