Sacred Dying SA offers free pet obituaries on their website. We saw this post on The Modern Mortician's page.

No gimmick. No catch.

Just a space to honor the life of an animal who mattered deeply.

If youโ€™ve lost a heart dog, soul cat, or any beloved companion and want help putting their story into words, or want a permanent place online to remember them, we are happy to do that for you.

You can write it yourself, or we can help shape it with you. Photos, favorite memories, nicknames, the little details that made them them are always welcome.

This is simply something we want to offer in South Africa because grief deserves tenderness, and our animals deserve to be remembered well. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
Please contact/email us at sacreddyingsa@gmail.com should you want to honour your pet ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™

The tragic head-on collision in Vanderbijl Park today, claiming the lives of 13 school children, is truly devastating and leaves one speechless.

The morning after someone dies in your home.

The neighbor doesnโ€™t know yet.

The light still comes through the window the same way it always has.

The dust floats. Birds sing their thing. Coffee brews out of habit.

But everything is different.

This is the quietest morning youโ€™ll ever experience because it's not quite peaceful, just hushed.

It feels like the world lowered its voice out of respect.

Youโ€™re aware of every sound, every creak, every breath you take without them.

Thereโ€™s often guilt here.

For sleeping.

For laughing at a memory.

For noticing how beautiful the light is when someone you love is gone.

If this was your morning, you didnโ€™t do it wrong.

This liminal space between presence and absence is part of grief.

Itโ€™s sacred, even when it feels unbearable.

Nothing needs to be rushed today.

Youโ€™re allowed to stand at the window a little longer.

Embracing The End Of Life

Having experienced the loss of family members from an early age has been the result of me adapting my way of thinking regarding living and dying; there is really no difference between birth and death, as both are equally sacred moments of the soul and facts of life. Sometime or the other we are all going to die.

Death is simply an end to the physical body, as the soul prepares its transition back into the spiritual realm. Nobody dies a moment before their time and nobody lives a moment after their time has come to make this great transition. None of us want to die; we want to live longer because that is what we know โ€“ the fight or flight for survival is in our primitive brain.

It is pointless to desire an extended life because it is all there โ€“ past, present and future, happening right now as we stay focused in the present moment. Having lived the past 15 years or so removed from traditional spiritual teaching and embracing the more holistic approach to life and death, has assisted me in understanding death with ease.

The many books I have read on the subject of death and dying, as well as the volunteer work with CANSA, serving the terminal patients who had been sent home to die, I was blessed in that I learnt much from both the patient and their families during this time, as they were trying to cope with impending death and finally the grieving stage of a loved one.
