God's timing.

I just got an update from Vip's family about his journey to the next life. He's still here in this world and hasn't transitioned into a new reality. Translation: He's not dead yet. There is still life within him that evidently needs to be expressed. His daughter told me that last night he wanted to be outside in the fresh air and they were able to move his bed outside. He was able to share some vision he was seeing by telling her that "it's so beautiful."

Of course the family is exhausted. Of course it is hard to watch him do this work. But they are hanging in, allowing him to have a good death, a death that will be of his and his maker's choosing. Many might find this too hard to believe, but there is something about this process when done well that leads to just this conclusion.

I will keep you posted on this journey. If even one person is able to find this information and be there to help another person have a good death it will be enough.

Elder Journeys

Premiere Entry

This Blog is being created as a very dear friend/client of mine is journeying through "the valley of the shadow of death" as some say. It is part of my path in this world to draw more attention to the sacredness of death. I know it's not a very popular topic and most of us shy away from it. We have devised all kinds of ways to make it more palatable...but we'd just as soon not have to take a bite. At any rate, this space is dedicated to Vip. I just want to say to him:

Dear Vip,

You have journeyed hard and long and faithfully. Please know I am holding sacred space for you even though we are apart as you do the work of dying. May you find what you desire in the next great beyond.
