Practically Dying

One week ago, 246 pilot whales were brutally killed in the Faroe Islands, including pregnant mothers and calves.

Chased for over an hour, many suffered for up to 30 minutes before dying.

This is cruelty. It must end. We are calling on the Faroese Government to ban this hunt. The Mission of the Faroes to the EU

If you haven’t thought about aid in dying, it would be a good idea, not even for yourself. The face of death is changing and we see more and more people saying how can I die the way I lived, not primarily as a medical patient at the end.

"I hope death is like
being carried to your bedroom
when you were a child
& fell asleep on the couch
during a family party.
I hope you can hear the laughter
from the next room"

Can you dig it? forgive me; I couldn't pass that one up

A new House bill that would allow family burials on private property passed out the House earlier this week.

It's time and this is so creative. The word that keeps coming up for me these days is 'convenient.' It's time we humans looked hard at what's really important and what's convenient for us, and then start to show up differently.

The Circus-Theater Roncalli uses 3D holograms instead of real animals. The cruelty-free circus was the first of its kind.

This is an idea that is spreading around the world. These phones are in beautiful places, in nature, in quiet spots, and they make a difference. In grief groups, we tell people to keep talking to their dead. This is a sweet way to amplify that.

A mom helped create the booth at Safety Harbor’s Folly Farm park to talk to her son.

Thank you so much to C.C. Boyce of Boyce Studio for bringing her original Planturns to the world! I love these wooden vessels that are homes for cremated remains plus a plant on top. I look forward to seeing what designs come out of Boyce Studio next! And thanks, Erma, for that important reminder to keep an eye on our medical team.

I think this is something we all know in our hearts, being human. But this is so nicely put.

After his brother’s death, Patrick Bringley took a job at the grandest place he could find.

I never would have thought of this but what a lovely way to help tie people's lives to their legacies. There are sweet hearts all over the world, and I want to remember that every day,

More than 1,000 volunteers across the world complete unfinished projects, like blankets and sweaters, for grieving loved ones.
