Why In the World Write a Blog or a Book About Death and Dying?
Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.
Precisely because nobody wants to talk or even think about it, generally. And yet, we’re all gonna die some day. As a hospice chaplain I was witness to too many deaths that were way harder than they needed to be on everyone concerned because nobody would talk about things that needed to be. I hope to make this a comfortable place for talking about difficult things so that some of that needless trauma can be avoided and replaced with graceful exits.
