I appreciate your post and attitude. Years ago I met the Quaker writer Peggy Pond Church who said "I am not at war with life and so am not at war with death." This has become a guiding light for me. I'm not very religious in a formal sense, but the Judaism I practice has little to say about an afterlife and everything to encourage an ethical life. Buddhist meditation (50 years!) has let me appreciate my life in all its changing details. However, I share your experience that most people don't have the same attitude. I've been encouraged to "fight" my cancer emotionally, and essentially to focus on struggle and not acceptance. So thank you for your post. And I am very interested in the resources and continuing conversation.

I appreciate your heart felt post, May I share what keeps me going in this life which is full of pain, sorrow, joy, happiness and disappointment.
Is the understanding that we are here but for a short time then it's all over,
I have learn what ever my state of condition is
to find peace. Knowing and understanding not religion but spiritual matters, man has turn spiritual matter into religion, a business, and social club, but My relationship is with God,
John 3:16 tell me who ever believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Seem simple enough to me.
The mystery is we all will live again, the question is where?
Many dont think about any of this until they are truly on their death bed.
Life is short Death is sure. God love all of us no matter what we have done in the past. We must repent while we have life in our body,
Once that life is gone.
Hebrews 9:27 Man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment. It's very simple to me repent now it's so easy.,❤️❤️
My prayer is that this does not affend anyone.
I love you, just as Jesus loved us all. This next life we cannot die. It is truly worth investigating.
Read the Bible man can
Mislead us. The battle is for our souls.
