Why do we need to do death better?
This is Doing Death Better. A place to come and broaden your horizons and find what might work for you when it comes to the end of life. It comes to us all, and it’s the way we prepare ourselves, prepare our loved ones and understand the process that de-mystifies and helps us come to terms with the inevitable.
Customs and traditions around end of life differ around the world and across the ages. Whenever you think of a funeral, everyone’s idea is uniquely different. This is wholly dependent on your culture, experience, beliefs, upbringing. The unique combination of experiences each of us has that makes us who we are.
For some, the fear of death is really the fear of the unknown. The “what ifs?” and the “what happens when?” all cloud your thoughts and cause anxiety and stress. How you deal with this as an individual is just that, individual to you. This site is designed to help you with your options. Not only planning your funeral but decided where or what you can do with your remains. There’s a lot more options for us all these days. More than burial or cremation. What about how you want to be remembered, or how you want to remember your loved one? Would you consider employing a guide to help you, a Soul midwife or Shaman (and what do they even do)? When coping or dealing with grief, how do you know what’s ok, is it the right time?
Stop and think about it for more than a minute and you’ll have more questions than answers.
