I like the content (idea) but I wonder if it was just me that didn't like the chosen words, there isn't any mention to the grieving process, making everything sound too cold and materialistic:
In 2009 my husband was killed in an accident. In the following hours, weeks, and months I was shocked by the number of things we had left disorganized or ignored.
This is a subject where it is often difficult to break through to people. Everyone fears death, and most of us live with a kind of denial about the fact that we will die.
There are different tactics that can be used to try to get past the denial. Stating things bluntly is a worthwhile tactic. Merely mentioning facts is another possible tactic, but you run into the problem that people would prefer to screen out any information about such a painful topic.
This a subject where shock tactics can be justified, if they manage to get people to think about the fact that, yes, they will die someday.
