Sometimes, when I talk to my 4 year old son, I imagine how we will have our last goodbye talk on my death bed. How we will both know that this is the last moment together, how we both will be mourning.

It makes me incredibly sad, and, at the same time it helps me to make better decisions in life. Choosing spending time with him instead of surfing the web for no reason for example.

I’d also invite you to contemplate the reverse: a last goodbye talk on his death bed.

I find contemplating the absence of others to be much more powerful than my own return back to the void.

I think that's a great point and I'm absolutely not going to do that - I can't bring myself to imagine my children will die before me.
