A friend-of-a-friend, Julie Becker threw a party for all the people she loved and/or those that touched her life - before she died April 13, 2007. Read this story about how terminally ill people are celebrating their lives before the die. Caution: A bit a of tear-jerker!

Now this makes sense. I've always hated funerals because the person you loved or respected is 'not there'. I like the idea of 'being awake' for one's own wake.
