Death and Dying

The transition from the death of a loved one can be like a death of ourselves, dying of the old way of being in the world and awaking to a new way. After death there is a re-evaluating of the world; how will life be different?

Death changes people. It’s like a rude awaking from a slumber that we never want to awake from. We want to stay innocent in our beliefs and feelings. “It won’t happen to me, It won’t be so painful, Death, I don’t even think about it...” Now it’s all you think about…angry, sad, refusing to believe it’s true, crying at little things that trigger your grief.

It is a transition; we are never the same after looking death in the face. People who find a way to move through the pain to the rebirthing of death find that they can become more compassionate, have a deeper understanding of life, passion for living, a resilience and wisdom they have not had before. Some people can also become stuck in the grieving process and have a hard time moving through the pain. Let us know if we can help.
