Beyond Religious and Social Constructs. Insights on Death and the Afterlife - Part 2

from Rekindling Ancient Wisdom

"Fear robs us of so much. Fear robs us of experiences. Fear robs us of joy. Fear robs us of our energy, and if we can start talking about the true nature of death, then we will alleviate these fears. We will start seeing passing with a lot more grace." This week, on the second part of the conversation about death and the afterlife, I invite you to join me as we go deeper into how we can help our loved ones to die well, in peace, and fear-free. Whether it might be for religious or cultural reasons, most conversations about death are either avoided or seen as taboo for people. Then, when the death of a loved one arrives, they are caught off guard and feel totally unprepared to deal with funeral arrangements, last wishes, or cemeteries' paperwork. Is there a way to avoid this uncomfortable yet unavoidable part of our lives? Throughout this episode, you'll hear practical tips on starting conversations about death before it is too late and how to handle bedside conversations with our loved ones on their deathbed. You'll also hear about the importance of expressing love and gratitude every time you can, the effects of religious beliefs on how we see death, and why it is crucial to remove fear from our vision of transitioning into the other side. You'll also hear practical tips to prepare yourself to deal with end-of-life care, funeral planning, financial decisions dealing with death-related logistics, the emotional aspects of medical considerations, and much more. Tune in to episode 30 of Rekindling Ancient Wisdom, and discover how to eliminate fear from the conversation when talking about death, the afterlife, and what is waiting for us on the other side.   In This Episode, You Will Learn: What are the things we might have to deal with while accompanying a loved one on their deathbed (3:40) Don't let anyone you love walk away without saying "I love you" (9:40) We must start talking about the true nature of death (17:10) How can we help people die well?
