I don't think there's been a topic about death here before, which is quite surprisingly in some ways as it's such an important subject. But not surprising in other ways, for as a society it's something we don't tend to like to think about, much less discuss. As a society, we have a major block when it comes to death and it's something that must be reversed. Until we make peace with death - our own impending deaths and the passing away of all those we love - then I don't think we can truly be at peace with life or within our selves.
When confronted with some sad news today about a family friend, I got to thinking about this thing we call 'death' and would love to hear your thoughts on it. How do you relate to death? Are you at peace with it, or do you dread it? Do you feel uncomfortable thinking or speaking about it? What do you believe or feel will happen when you pass over?
Ironically, when I don't think about death much and it's just something stuffed away in the back of my mind, it's something that's dark and scary. But the more I meditate on it and explore it, the more freeing and liberating it feels. I will share some thoughts later. You go first.
