The problem of aging in Japanese society is becoming more and more serious. The ideology and culture that Japanese people don't want to cause trouble to others has swept all over Japan, and the elderly have begun to prepare for their own affairs.
Finally, the purpose of life is to help the elderly spend the rest of their lives happier, fuller and more meaningful through prior planning, and make use of the little time left to prepare for their own death.
However, according to the traditional concept of China, everyone is unwilling to mention things related to death, and always feels taboo. Moreover, the deep-rooted ideological concept: "Parents raise their children to guard against old age" and "Children provide for the elderly and die" is a matter of course for China people. So many people can't understand and accept the practice of arranging funerals in advance and holding farewell ceremonies for themselves.
But planning to die is better than running away.
How to face death calmly and accept it is an idea that should be gradually improved with the progress of social culture.
A Japanese grandmother named Prizi is 76 years old.
Grandma's children are all married, and her husband/kloc-died 0/3 years ago. Now she lives alone.
Because grandma has passed her last life, she has prepared her birth name and photos.
About her own affairs, except the legal name and photos, the disposal of the living house, the contract of the cemetery, etc. Grandma has finished it all. After his death, he won't leave much trouble for his relatives and children.
Grandma began to want to die because she thought that her eldest son died unexpectedly in a car accident 30 years ago, and felt that life and death were impermanent, so she should handle her own affairs well.
You may not come tomorrow. In order not to let everyone be caught off guard by the unexpected arrival, we can prepare our own affairs in advance now, so that we can cause less trouble to our families.
Grandma also began to organize farewell ceremonies for herself.
It should be the first time that many people have heard of holding their own funerals while they are alive.
Take the funeral as an opportunity for family and friends to get together and recall their lives. For those who have been helping themselves, you can say thank you in person and hope to continue to spend the rest of your life with them.
Although it was a farewell ceremony, my friends and I sang and danced without any sad atmosphere.
Grandma also summed up a word for her life-Hui. In these 76 years, because of everyone's help, she has achieved what she is now, and she is infinitely grateful.
Grandma will think it's great to hold this farewell party before she dies, and now she feels very happy.
Through the farewell party, family members can recall the past and lament the passage of time. As family members, mutual support for so many years has deepened the fetters between families.
Many enterprises will hold lectures, exhibitions and experience activities for the elderly who are afraid of trouble, so that the elderly have more choices.
Merchants will arrange some projects, such as the experience of lying in a coffin, so that people can really feel the feeling of "that moment".
Old people can also make their own portraits in advance, choose their favorite costumes, makeup and hairstyles, and keep the most beautiful smile at the last moment of their lives.
In the final work, the merchant will also plan a one-day tour of the funeral cemetery and introduce the characteristics of each funeral venue and cemetery in detail.
Although it is very popular in Japan now, there are still many people who don't understand it and feel that they can't face the topic of death seriously.
There are also some children who think that their parents are still healthy and wish them a long life, and are unwilling to mention this depressing topic.
In addition to the final work, Japan also set off a wave of tidying up before death.
According to the data of Japanese second-hand auction APP, members over the age of 60 began to grow rapidly. Because the old man didn't want to be a burden to his relatives after death, he sold everything he didn't need before his death.
I don't want to trouble others when I am alive, and I don't want to be a burden after I die.
In fact, it is not the key to say yes or no to the ultimate life phenomenon itself.
It is important to respect the laws of nature and cherish the present time. A positive attitude towards life can make people happy, whether they participate in the last life or not.
Treat today as the last day of your life, and don't waste time.
