Sam this is a powerful and very necessary post. I have seen both sides of having a living will and advanced directives (what they are called in the US) and not having one. It is like night and day. Having a loved one die is already sooo challenging. But when these questions have not been taken care of before hand... Well, even more challenging. There is a lot I can write about this, for I have been at many death beds. What I will say, is that I have my documents all taken care of. Did them a few years ago. Sam, what you are reminding of though, is to reread them, to make sure that is still how I feel.
Dear Sam, hoping that are taking care in this time of grief. On my end I am still dealing with the shock of it all. Doing my own self-care too. Much love to you! ♥️
Dearest Julie, the Journey of Grief is such a powerful initiation isn't it?! No matter how many times we witness it - in other people and more importantly in ourselves.
I wholeheartedly agree, that to re-read your Advanced Care Directive and alter if need be, is so important...it gives dignity, honour, respect to what you deeply believe.
Thank you for sharing and for your support during this time. Much, much love. ❤️
What a wonderful question. The knowledge that it’s a home going (for me) is comforting and yet it’s so important to remember that we’re still here on this journey and the end of the journey is still part of it, and worth considering before we get there. Thank you for the reminder!
To be still here upon this Journey of Life and to be considerate of our Final Journey is a beautiful dance. Thank you Jen for reading my post and for sharing what it meant for you.
So beautiful, Sam! Thank you so much for bringing this conversation into the world. And I can't believe the timing! Last week I released my magic pack which is a month long process of rehearing one's death. The questions you pose here have been deeply on my heart and mind. 🙏♥️
Oh how I love synchronicity. Your pack is wonderful, as is the work you do for the deceased. have to say I was connecting with you as I wrote this...I felt you smile as I wrote this. Thank you for sharing in this great topic with me. 💖
