Be gentle with yourself. Life is about the Journey not the destination.

We often focus so much on the end goal that we forget about the right now.

You have your advanced directive and you have your will, but have you ever considered preparing a playlist for your time of death?

“When I conceptualize my own death, I imagine the comfort of listening to this playlist I have spent an entire lifetime curating. I don’t know how the final playlist will be, or how long it will take to die. So, slowly I add more songs. Only when I am struck by the way a single song can, for a moment, ease the anxiety of my mortality and remind me that it will be okay. That it can be beautiful.”

"We must change the way we grieve in silence and isolation, locked behind funeral doors. We render the body invisible, removed from the rituals by soft spoken professionals with expensive payment plans. It becomes to taboo to speak of death. ⁠
⁠
Instead, wash my body and hair, and wrap me in my favorite sundress, stuff native wildflower seeds in the pockets. ⁠
Find a forest sanctuary that will let me be buried there. ⁠
⁠
Let me dissolve into mycelium and moss, the mushrooms connected to every tree pass along my memories, feeding the forests that once shaded us. Let me reconnect to the wood wide web one final time. We must return what we borrow. ⁠
I beg you. Return us to the Earth." - Joan de Art Studio ❤️🍃🌿

I know I need support navigating the complexities of dying and I want to die on my own terms

When your loved one dies, the corporate funeral industry will make you believe you only have a couple of options: burial or cremation. Package A or Package B...
