Beside Death is Life, let’s talk about it. As a society we talk openly about other great transitions like marriage, birth, postpartum, divorce, but what about death, loss and the grief it brings? In many cultures talk of dying is a natural part of conversation as is the celebration of someone’s life when speaking of death. I invite you to be vulnerable, to step into this liminal space with me, come to understand death through the lens of a natural an imminent part of life, a precious and great transition that can be talked about, planned for and celebrated.
