Many families refuse to accept that their elderly relatives will ever die and hence are not open to having the discussion. This leaves many elderly people feeling alone, not listened to, and frightened. As death is inevitable for everyone, why is it a topic that most people shy away from discussing?
Surely it is time to face up to what is inevitable for us all and to start the conversation around death and dying so that it eventually becomes a normal topic of conversation. Once this occurs dying can become something we plan for and accept with grace and love.
By sharing each other’s personal stories around death and dying we can start to open up the conversation and perhaps start to view the dying process in a different way.
As Jane says in her article “What if we truly, joyfully celebrated with those who were due to pass over with loving words and a true light-ness and playfulness? Celebrating their life and honouring them in death?”
