How does one prepare themselves to die?

By slowly gaining acceptance of what’s to come. It’s not something that’s easy to sit with by any means, but it’s needed to experience the most peace at the end. You let people know how you truly feel through the words that may have been hard to find earlier. And if they fail, let actions become your language of goodbye. You do what you can to help plan the future others will have without you. You indulge. You say yes when you normally would have said no and you take more time out for yourself to gather as much Life as you can. There’s more…a lot more…but you just continue life one day at a time knowing it’s a little more precious than it was once upon a time.
