How to Prepare Oneself for Inevitable Death

Step 1: Ascertain that one is in possession of reasonably large quantities of ice cream.
Step 2: Seek alternative ways to direct one's attention and focus, such as homework, painting one's nails, baking cookies, etc.
Step 3: Remind oneself calmly, on occasion, that the events of the day are certain and beyond one's power to alter.
Step 4: Try not to cry.
Step 5: Warn those nearby of the eventual necessity of tears.
Step 6: Be honest with oneself and embrace the surety of pain and tears.
