Demonizing death

I've come to accept that as a medium I have a different relationship to death then the average person. I haven't experienced existential grief as others have. I count this as a major perk of my vocation.

In grace, I also haven't experienced the loss of a partner or child. So in humility I accept that it could happen, that existential grief, and certainly pray it doesn't.

All this allows me the wiggle room to contemplate death. What’s clear is that we, collectively, have strong feelings and negative associations about death be they cultural, religious or familial.

And here’s a revolutionary question…what if it all was just an interesting point of view? What would happen if you examined all those associations, the things you believe, and determined if any of it were true for you?

Now, I'm no fool - trying to gaslight you out of your grief. I know the ache of loss and It's physically exacting toll. But I do stand for shaking the trees a bit. Examining what we believe – what we've been taught – opens the door to new possibilities. And in the possibilities could be an ounce of relief. And that is something I truly desire for you all.

Let me know where this lands with you. As always, here is you need me.
