I, too, think about death a lot, but in the spirit of using those thoughts as a motivator to make good choices in my life. When faced with a big decision, one of the questions I always ask myself is 'Will I be disappointed when I die if I do/don't do this?" That question clarifies the issue 99% of the time. Kudos to you for broaching a topic that we all need to confront and yet usually try to avoid!
