What lead me down this path?
In my mid-thirties, and in a very short timeframe, I was sacred witness to the death of both of my step-parents. One death was unexpected, sudden and traumatic on many levels. The other was expected, happened over time and no less traumatic.
In both cases, I remember thinking, there must be a better way to die.
Less fear, more understanding of the body’s process as it dies, more peace, more acknowledgement of and conversation about death itself and thus, more chance to say the things that want to be said, have control over those last days and how they’re experienced, more reverence and ceremony, more presence with the body post death.
This is my path.
