Here’s a really special piece I wrote for @TalkDeathDaily on how the #sikh #akhandpaath ceremony offers relief to those grieving the death of a loved one. I trace its history and share a personal story about losing my grandmother.

With preparations in order to release the whale back into the ocean after 53 years in captivity, the idea of death care for all animals comes back into mind. For humans, having your final days be in your own home can provide great support and relief.

I’m convinced the afterlife is just going to be me face to face with every houseplant I have forgotten to water for months at a time.

When the label of disorder is required to gain access to support for grieving, should we be questioning the entire concept?

On the first day of obon, people welcome their ancestral spirits to their homes with offerings of food and flowers at shrines or altars. They spend the next few days thanking their ancestors, eating together and deepening their bonds. Read more here talkdeath.com/japans-obon-fe…

The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is one of my favorites, purely because of the character of Death herself. Shortly after Orpheus, a lyricist and poet, falls in love with Eurydice she dies from a snake bite. In an attempt to get her back, he travels to the underworld.

In the 1950 movie Orpheus, he makes this travel possible through the temporal portals within the reflection of mirrors. An obsession with the character and concept of Death draws him in, making it harder to return to the living.
