Teaching Life to Love Death

There is no scripture, no sacred text, where death is not spoken of—whispered through the words of gods, saints, sufis, and sages. Yet, we spend our lives denying its presence, pretending it is not always there, walking beside us in silent companionship. Every breath we take, every heartbeat that echoes in our chest, is shared with death, waiting patiently for its moment.

For some, death arrives like a merciful friend, offering relief from unbearable sorrow, pain, and grief. For others, it comes as a thief in the night, stealing away those who are young, radiant, and full of life—those who least expect it, yet whose fate was always written in unseen ink.

We feel the weight of our mortality when we stand among the graves, in funeral homes, in the cold silence of morgues. In those moments, we are forced to acknowledge how fragile we are, how temporary our existence truly is. Fear grips us, reminding us of our fleeting nature. But the moment we step away from those places, we slip back into illusion, believing ourselves invincible, as if death could never touch us.

Yet, I have always felt the presence of a companion who has never left my side—one who will remain with me even after my body is no longer my prison. Death is not my enemy, but my truest friend, the only certainty in this uncertain world.

Our deeds, our karmas, shape the journey of our soul. We come into this strange, unpredictable world to leave behind footprints that will outlive us. Some believe in a higher order, a divine reckoning, while others think that death is the final end, that nothing remains beyond it. Perhaps both are right. But what truly matters is how we choose to leave this world—whether we depart in peace, with a legacy of love and kindness, or vanish into the abyss, forgotten.

Life complicates death, that much is certain. But perhaps, if we stop fearing it, if we embrace its inevitability, we will finally learn what it truly means to live.

Sitting at the bedside of a dying soul, I find myself once again in the sacred space between life and death. This is one of many moments where I bear witness to the final breaths of someone I have never met before—no shared history, no past encounters, no earthly ties. Yet here I am, holding their hand, offering silent prayers, and waiting for Death to take them gently into its embrace.

For some, this moment is softened by the presence of family, their hands entwined in love and sorrow. But for others, it is just us—the strangers who become their last companions, the unknown figures who stand guard over their fading existence. I sit here, searching for a connection, yearning to glimpse the life they once lived, to see flashes of their laughter, their struggles, their joys, as if watching a fleeting trailer of their journey. I do not want their departure to be a silent mystery. Let me see them, even for a fraction of a moment, so that when their soul slips past me, I am not left with nothing but an empty stare.

There is an eerie stillness in these hours, a weight in the air. I can feel the unseen—the Death Angels lingering in the corners, brushing past me as I walk through the quiet halls of my hospice in the dead of night. Sometimes, I sense a chill, a whisper of something beyond my understanding. But none of that unnerves me more than the question that always lingers—why have our paths crossed? Is this an old debt being repaid across lifetimes? Did they once care for me as I now care for them? Were we connected in some past life, only to reunite in these final moments?

Death is inevitable, a certainty that awaits us all. But if my karmas are kind, I pray that when my time comes, I, too, will be cradled in the arms of faith, trust, dignity, and love—just as I strive to offer those in their final hours.

By the grace of Waheguru and blessings of my mentors, I want to share with you a good news that I have been invited in First Emirates Palliative Care Conference on 19-20 October 2024. I have been given a time slot of 25 minutes to speak about "Palliative Care at the centre of community, a view from rural Punjab. An insight into the work of Palliative Peace in resource-poor setting providing palliative care"

06/10/2024

Early morning view of our beloved Capt TPS Gill Memorial Care & Support Home created in the loving memory of our Captain Tejinder Pal Singh Gill. This center has provided shelter to more than 40 patients since past year. Many fortunate souls found peace and solace in the arms of this center. Eight patients on end-of-life care made a transition into other dimension here. We provided care to all with compassion and their dignity was preserved till last moments of their lives.

On death anniversary of Capt TPS Gill, we are proud to say that we are the only center in North India who provide dignity care to destitute. As humanity is above all caste, creed, color or religion, we have preserved such respect to all who have come to our center and embraced them with open arms.

We are learning and learnt a lot of valuable lessons on how we must treat another fellow human being. We firmly believe that the sewa or selfless service we provide to less fortunate ones is just a way of reciprocating the deed which might have been done for us in another time and space by the people who we are caring.

We thank our beloved mentors who have guided us in many ways and have shaped our inner consciousness to being a gentle, compassionate human being who can feel pain and despair of others.

We will continue to serve the community and play our part in creating a peaceful, pain-free world.

World Day of Peace was celebrated with the insightful discussion on cultivating a culture of peace. Our host Katherine Pettus and moderator Dr. Di**le Spence did a tremendous job in making the webinar a huge success. The involvement of diverse panelists, including Dr. Abhijit Dam, Dr. Mhoira Leng, and Mr. Avtar Singh Cheema, brought a wealth of perspectives to the conversation. The focus on spiritual care in serious illness is particularly significant, as it recognizes the profound role that spirituality plays in providing comfort, meaning, and peace during challenging times. The success of the webinar, with positive feedback from attendees, is a testament to the importance of these discussions and the dedication of the organizers and participants. I commend the efforts of IAHPC and the esteemed panelists for their contributions to promoting peace and well-being through spiritual care.

We gathered together to watch the inspiring movie 'Kesari' and 'Ardaas', which brought to life the sacrifices made by these gallant soldiers. Their unwavering courage and indomitable spirit continue to inspire us to this day. We are eternally grateful for their selfless service and the ultimate sacrifice they made to protect our nation.
