Sound a bit borderline. I am a bit of a witch. A least a pagan. It is in my blood.
We all die alone in the end.
From what I have gleaned so far is that being able to say your good-byes to the ones you love before you die is the most beautiful kind of death.
Just live and experience, thus you will "feel" the proper path.
If you're completely blind to the experience, you'll be bound to repeat the same mistakes over and over.
