Preface#
Death is the greatest gift of life. Grief is the price we pay for the courage to love.
Grief is the price we pay for the courage to love.
The more fulfilling your life, the more peacefully you will die. May you have no regrets in this life.

Recommended Preface#
As a couple who have walked through life together, if you could choose, would you prefer to leave this world first, or would you choose to stay? Yalom, I guess you would choose to stay. After providing psychological therapy to so many bereaved individuals, you know well that those who remain will endure more pain.
Psychologists should not speak of "you" and "your" issues; they should discuss "we" and "our" issues, because our lives, our existence, are inseparable from death. Where there is life, there is death; where there is freedom, there is fear; where there is growth, there is separation. In this sense, we share the same fate.
