WhenYouDie.org - All things death and dying

WhenYouDie.org - All things death and dying

WhenYouDie.org is a wonderful resource for all things death and dying. There are podcasts, stories, articles, and a documentary series focused on what happens when you die. The first film in the series, In the Realm of Death & Dreaming, asks the big question: Does consciousness continue after death, or is it lights out? 

 

As we all know, exploring what happens after death not only helps us decide how we want to be cared for at the end of life, but it reduces our fear of death. The When You Die team believes talking about death isn’t dangerous but, conversely, can nurture happier, healthier individuals and families ...

Sandra Melgar Obituary

Posted by jayne on April 4, 2022, 12:34 a.m.


Certain individuals come into our lives, leave impressions on our souls, and we are never the same. While we are grieving the loss of our beloved, others are cheering to meet him behind the veil.

The trend about Sandra Melgar death is ongoing on all social media platforms as it is with a heavy heart and in the spirit of this mourning that we extend our condolences to the family  of the deceased.

Aufruf: Was ich dir noch sagen wollte....

Posted by castrojung on March 11, 2022, 8:16 a.m.


Aufruf: Was ich dir noch sagen wollte....

Wohin mit der Trauer, wenn man sich als Angehöriger nicht verabschieden konnte?

YET TO SAY :“Was ich dir noch sagen wollte…“

Das Kunstprojekt ´Covijo- 99´ beschäftige sich mit dieser und anderen Fragen.
Es möchte hier den Raum für diese letzten Worte bieten.
Der Komponist und Soundkünstler Andrea Rocca (@babymicrobesound @mechanical.eyelid) wird alle Nachrichten zu einem Requiem komponieren, eine immersive Soundlandschaft für das partizipative Performance Projekt ´Covijo-99´

Und so geht's:

Schicke mir eine private Sprachnachricht hier über Instagram.
Wem es lieber ist, kann mir die Worte schreiben (ebenfalls als private Nachricht) und wir werden die Nachrichten mit Schauspielern aufnehmen.

Alle Nachrichten ...

Natural Death Salon

Posted by Josefine Speyer on Sept. 10, 2021, 1:49 a.m.


I have invited Rosie of the Natural Death Centre to talk to us at the next Salon on Sunday 19 September at 3pm.
You are welcome to join us. Booking is via Eventbrite. 
 
 We have two ticket options: 
You can either pay the usual fee of £15 or donate what you can afford to pay.
 
Rosie knows everything there is to know about funerals and natural burial and has lots of stories to tell.
It’s a brilliant opportunity for getting information and a great chance to have a conversation with someone who has inside knowledge of the funeral industry, social trends, knows about problems that can arise and how best to avoid them. See you there! If you have any questions, do get in touch.
 
Josefine

Poetry for the elderly

Covid 19 has meant that there have been times over the past year when attending a loved ones funeral was not allowed, due to local or national lockdown restrictions. Restrictions concerning the amount of guests allowed to attend funerals and travel restictions still stand. However, even without being present at the funeral there are different ways that you can honor and remember the deceased.

The Role of the Dead in Our Lives

“We don’t die alone,” says psychologist James Hillman, “Death is communal, entering the community of the dead, and the dead are already present in the heart.”

Thoughts on COVID-19

Posted by libbyhall on April 17, 2020, 11:26 a.m.


I was delighted to read about Death Cafes in the Guardian last week. I wondered how I didn’t know about them. Especially as it all began in Hackney, and I have lived in Hackney for the last 53 years of my 78 years.
 
I don’t have much stamina now and it would be difficult for to to keep to a daily conversation. I am very much enjoying reading previous blogs and looking at videos. I should be able to come back to my computer and read a bit more every day now.
 
I would like to share with you two selfies – with their captions -  and a link to a film that was made in 2012 about me getting my tattoos. The tattoos were done before I was ill. I’m especially glad now that I had them done when I did.
 
 
 
 
It’s an honour to be part of the Death Cafe community. I only wish I had known about it from its beginnings when I might have been more actively involved – and actually shared coffee and cake with you!
