There are six ways, possibly more, of facing the inevitability of our own death or those we dearly love. Perhaps there is a combination of mixing and matching the six ways of facing death.
Posted in Prayer Prescription Series
1) Fearing Death
2) Denying Death
3) Defying Death
4) Grieving Death
5) Accepting Death
6) Liberation In The Face Of Death
Today’s podcast goes into all of these. I thank Joan Halifax and her book called Being with Dying, as one of the greatest books written on these topics.

My dear Kate, a very moving but needed presentation! Thank you, Kate. I recognize myself in the first four ways of facing death, the worst and most enduring being grieving death. I have not been told directly I’m going to die, but instead have been given statistics that suggest the probability of living much longer do not favor a man having had a stroke and heart attack. it has been unsettling to say the least, but I think it has been even worse for my wife of 35 years. Sometimes reality sucks!
My heart goes out to you, Neill, Neill. My next podcast addresses even more.
Very moving podcast. We will each be with death so many times I am pertickuly moved at the idea of being with
Death. My Mothers death was so peaceful and filled with light.
