The last time we'll ever be together

A fulfilling life may be about saying a good goodbye when there's still time.
A mortician who has handled nearly a thousand farewell ceremonies recounts stories of "fulfilling" farewell gatherings.

◆A book that tells you how to draw a "perfect" conclusion to life◆

When facing the passing of a loved one, whether it's a 40-year-old wife with cancer, an 11-year-old daughter who died prematurely, a father never met, or a lifelong partner, the greatest hope is to arrange a fulfilling farewell ceremony for them.
Through the eyes of a mortician, one understands the impermanence of life and also sees the weaknesses of human nature. Cherishing the beautiful time spent with loved ones allows for a perfect farewell without any regrets.

Death comes too quickly, preparation is always too slow. When there is still enough time, you and I should consider:
What can we prepare? How do we choose when we have a choice? What do we do when it's too late?

The last gathering in life emphasizes the feelings between the deceased and their family, and even the feelings of all mourners.
These feelings are sometimes just a "point" that makes the deceased the protagonist of the farewell ceremony.
What morticians encounter are not always moving stories, but various lives played out by real actors, with laughter, tears, and humanity.

An eleven-year-old girl with congenital muscular dystrophy. It is said that some patients can live a normal lifespan, but some experience rapid progression of symptoms, leading to muscle weakness and respiratory failure.
The small deceased was also "once" a life. Occasionally, in the funeral parlor, one sees innocent baby photos placed in the spirit tablet area, contrasting strikingly with the mature, aged obituaries next to them.
According to custom, elders do not need to, and cannot, offer meals to babies, but in the morning and evening, parents will still prepare milk and place it on the table, with a squeaky rubber duck in a basin.
Watching the young parents standing in front of the photo, all I wanted was to make the little girl's farewell ceremony different.

A fulfilling life may be about saying a good goodbye when there's still time.
