Memento Mori

Now that we've explored qualities of living and dying,

From the physical to the mystical,

From the practical to the mental,

We hope you feel connected as well as informed about the potential power in having conversations around death and dying.

In doing so,

This is not just a practice in becoming comfortable with our inevitable ends,

But also a journey into how significant living life really is.

As we've discussed,

Life and death simply cannot exist without the other.

And that,

In and of itself,

Is something to contemplate.

As a listener in this exploration of death and dying,

You have become an active participant in the movement to shift death culture away from fear and closer to something that is normalized,

Safe,

And perhaps even celebrated.

In the Tibetan book of the living and dying,

Tibetan Lama Sogyal Rinpoche says,

Death is a mirror in which the entire meaning of life is reflected.

So,

As you move forward,

We hope this experience has served as a mirror for your own life,

Revealing how powerful and profound this thing called living can be.

With that,

We are so grateful you have joined us on this journey into death awareness.

And as we have learned throughout this experience,

All things must come to an end so that new beginnings can occur.

And this journey is no different.

So now,

Step back into your life,

Resting in the perspective that you are here and you are very much alive.

And what is better than that?
