Death Quote by Judith Hanson Lasater
““1. I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old. 2. I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape having ill health. 3. I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death. 4. All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them. 5. My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand. ... I see it as a loving reminder of the life we have given. As such, everything is perfect. Along with things that surely will be lost, impermanence makes way for new possibilities, such as working out a difficulty with a friend, giving birth to a child after years of trying to conceive, recovering from an illness, learning to do a yoga pose that you thought once was beyond your ability, and more.””

![“[Let] go of your attachments: your attachment to being right, to having total control, or to living forever. This process of letting go is integral to the process of becoming whole.” quote by Judith Hanson Lasater](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/44f/judith-hanson-lasater-12396_attachment_let-go-of-your-attachments-your-attachme_483150.jpg)
