Planning for Dying to Bring Peace to Living
Planning for dying and death is one of those things that no one really wants to do, but most of us feel like we SHOULD do. And we're right!"
Simply thinking about what’s important to us and talking about it goes most of the way toward avoiding unnecessary suffering, conflict, and financial burden for families. But starting these conversations is the hard part!
Life is Short. Parenting is Hard. Lift Up the Best of What Your Parents Gave You.
Those we are closest to have the capacity to hurt us the most. After all, we humans are so perfectly fallible and it is impossible to love without letting others down. The resulting pain can lead to resentment which can be ruinous in our lives. While we cannot change what’s been so painful in the past, we can look to balance our perspective by remembering the best of what our loved ones have given us - bringing healing and connection to our lives.
The Mixed Blessing of Burden
Reaching out to someone when they are living through something difficult can be one of the most lifegiving things you can do for yourself, the other person, and your community.
