The Ghost Bride

by Yangsze Choo

“If I had known how easy it is to lose your life, I would have treasured mine better.”

This was really brought home to me more recently with the sudden sad passing of a couple of friends. We live in a time with modern medicine and healthcare, and often forget how easy it is to die from something as simple as a broken leg, tooth infection, or blood poisoning. Our society is fascinated by youth, health, and wealth. Yet at the same time, we are still frail mortal creatures.
