Diary 2015

We are BORN to DIE!

So said the woman selling me veg in the local farm shop the other day. I am so glad to be open enough to talk with strangers about death! It is inevitable and the taboo-ness seems to be slipping away, hurray.

Having been around to support both parents out, I have become closer to death and dying and have noticed that they are hot topics in some arenas. It is fantastic that there is movement to understand and gain better support networks. Let us hope that with greater consciousness we will be enabled to have a smoother transition.

Let’s get networking and spreading our knowledge in order that we may die more easily in the best ways possible and say goodbye in the best ways possible too.

There is a movement sprouting up all over the world whereby folk gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death thus increasing awareness. More info from www.deathcafe.com and also to be found on facebook.
