We know earthly death is not the end, but rather the door through which we must pass to gain eternal life. Because of our belief and hope in the Resurrection, we can face death not with fear, but with preparation. Although certainly not comprehensive, the considerations in this document are provided as starting points for understanding and preparing for this transition, whether it is imminent or not.
