As we settle into our New Zealand winter, I hope this finds you well.
The Death Dialogues Project is physically located two hours north of Auckland in the Winterless North. This is my ninth winter here and, having come from the land of cold and harsh winters, every winter I wait for the oppressive climate to hit–it never does.
It's interesting observing how born and bred Northlanders lament the frigid conditions. It's all relative to what your personal experience has been with cold, right?
I guess we could say that with grief.
For instance, unless you've experienced a loss that felt tragic to you, it's really impossible to wrap your head and heart around how that may feel for someone who has lost a deep soul connection.
As people continue to ease the closet door open and let the conversations surrounding death, dying, loss and grief flow out-- we learn from those stories.
Every time we make space for those openings- the stories, the sharing, the feelings-we are doing our part to create a kinder and gentler world and less death-phobic society.
Silence serves no one. It kills empathy and connection and leaves us unprepared for when Death visits us or our family or community.
You can find some of our news and links below.
We are happy you are here and a part of opening the closet door.
We'll leave the light on for you.
All things good,
Becky
