Birth and death are just passages, not of life but of time.

You may have a family, work, and things to do, but not for a moment should you forget the mortal nature of your life.

If you can transition from wakefulness to sleep consciously, you will also be able to transition from life to death consciously.  

Life and death are like inhalation and exhalation. They always exist together.

People who have truly, immensely loved each other are the ones who will handle the loss of the loved one gracefully.
