When I was a medical school professor, I invited my students to view their own experiences of sickness and medical care as a way to empathize with their patients’ experiences. Like them, we can prepare for our dying by “practicing” dying in response to situations of limitation and vulnerability. If we are currently able-bodied, we can experience rather than deny a wide range of feelings as we live with a minor illness or temporary physical limitation. We can learn to face what is beyond our control with equanimity. We can explore meditative prayers for peace of mind and relief of pain. Perhaps, most of all, we can prepare for our dying by living adventurously, lovingly, and mindfully. Despite our current health condition, each day can be an opportunity to proclaim, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Ps. 118:24). God is with you sustaining and guiding you, as you face your greatest fears.
