Please hold yourself with compassion as you open this door. 

 

Entering this path we begin to realize that talking about death and dying awakens us for life and living.

​​

Accepting what comes towards us can be painful, and also liberating. When we connect with a wider understanding of who we are in the Universe and how everything is connected, we begin breathing in unison. Not that things can be fixed, but they can be shared, as Megan Devine wrote in her book It's ok that you are not ok. Pain and suffering tend to be oh so slightly alleviated when someone is with you. 

​

If you have experienced the death of a loved one, please give yourself some love. Inevitably we think of our last encounter with that person. Could I have done anything differently? And if you are honest with yourself, the answer is probably no. We do what we can with what we have. Please reach out to talk. 

​

If you have aging parents or a loved one with a terminal diagnostic, perhaps you are going through anticipatory grief, or you might have practical questions about how to prepare for the moment of crossing, the possibilities of home vigil and how to honor the first hours or days afterwards. 

​

If you are facing your own mortality, perhaps you would like to talk about your feelings and you might wonder how to have end-of-life conversations with loved ones.

​

If you wonder about how to stay connected with those who have crossed, you may want to talk about how to move through regrets or other emotional knots, in the absence of the contact through the physical senses.

 

Or perhaps you would like to know how to talk about death with your child. 

 

I can be with you while you go through this time. But, please remember that you know yourself better than anyone else. Take a moment to do something for your self-care.
