"The 'cultural censorship' of death isn’t doing us any favors. In fact, it’s cutting into the valuable time we have while we’re still alive." A nice wrap glimpse at what the death positive movement encompasses: https://t.co/W8W2GqdhUl

“Just as we have become more anxious about our health as we have become healthier, so as methods for assuaging pain have improved, we appear to have become more fearful of suffering.”

'Can we live better by not knowing all the answers - or even by asking completely different questions?'
Philosopher Christopher Hamilton ponders the art of living well, for @artofdyingwell podcast.

[The Good Grief Trust @goodgrieftrust]

What a lovely idea. Often when someone has to go to hospital or has sadly died, their pet is left without a home. The reassurance that our family pets will be cared for will be a huge comfort. Pls see @The_Blue_Cross for pet bereavement support 🧡🐕‍🦺🐾🦴🐕‍🦺 🐱🐈

The idea of 'sitting with' suffering people recently came up in my correspondence.

Here's a thread that I wrote whilst formulating my ideas for what became my book about tender conversations, 'Listen.'

It takes tenderness & courage to be someone's companion in their distress.
