Margaret Meloni is a businessperson, Buddhist practitioner and a new voice on the subject of death awareness. One day, while navigating the demands of everyday life: family, friends, work and studying for her Ph.D.; she realized that more significant challenges were coming her way. She began to realize that the people she loved were going to die. Her mother-in-law, Lee, was in her nineties, her parents were approaching their eighties, and her husband, Ed, had already outlived his father. She had already said goodbye to others. She began to wonder, “How can I handle losing the people I love the most?” She knew that death would come, but was fearful that she would be unprepared. She used to tell herself that she was not afraid of her death, but did not want to be left behind by the ones she loved. She knew that she was unrealistic. She also noticed how unrealistic many of us are about death. At ninety-five, even though she was the last one left in her family, her mother-in-law had never seriously considered her death. Her passing at ninety-eight and a half was Margaret’s final wake-up call. It was time to become “death ready.” And now that she has made friends with death, her goal is to help all of us to accept death as an essential part of life. Margaret holds a B.S. in Business Administration and an M.B.A. from California State University, Long Beach. And a PhD in Religious Studies with an emphasis in Buddhism from the University of the West.
