Eyes wide shut.
.
When you are sitting quietly with someone, anyone you care about - even your pet if you like, look at them for a awhile- it's best if they are not looking at you. Look intently, as if you want to remember them exactly that way. Take in the surroundings, what they are doing, how they look, how they are dressed; take in the room, the furniture, the accessories, and so on. Then close your eyes for a second. Look again - quickly. Just as quickly, close your eyes again - look again, repeat. Finally, close your eyes and imagine the scene without the person or the pet - visualize the space as if your eyes are open and you are seeing it without them. At the same time try to imagine they will not be there when you open your eyes. Open your eyes. I think death is a little bit like that.

Maybe not.
