In a time of pandemic when death is ever present, it is a good idea for us to remember that life is neither as bad as we think, and can be so much better than we have hoped. If we have not lost any loved ones to Covid-19 we can count ourselves among the blessed.

Even as our parent predecease us, and sometimes friends and acquaintances, we fail to plan for a future in which we will no longer be in this world. The hereafter is a matter of faith, belief, or perspective, but as in life, there is a certain amount of planning that must go into it. Planning for retirement or heaven.
