Everyone processes grief and dying differently. What’s meaningful and a comfort to one person doesn’t necessarily apply to another.
There isn’t a “right way” to grieve, as a WebMD article put it.
One Ohio man’s response to being told by doctors that he had only months to live involved getting tattoos, according to the New York Post.
Don Caskey, 56, was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma 2018, according to the U.K. Daily Star.
At the time, he was told he had only months to live. But he has been defying that limit for quite a while now.
One of Caskey’s dying wishes was that he would be remembered after he was gone. His way of making that happen was to ask others to get matching tattoos with him.
He started with Family. The idea came to him one day as he was sitting on his son’s back porch.
“I realized I remembered when I got all of my tattoos and what they meant,” he said. “I figured that those memories of the tattoos will go with me when I passed away.”
