Elder Journeys

Join us as we honor the elders in our society in the process of aging and dying. It is important that we begin to understand the idea of a "good death" and how we can be supportive during this time of transition.

In honor of Vip

Today was the funeral of Vip. I was asked by his family if I wanted to share some of my experiences with him and I was delighted to do so. It was hard to keep it short but we had to meet the honor guard at the cemetery so I did my best. I learned so much from him in our time together and I am very grateful to his family for giving him the gift of an elder coach. He used his time well and he did the work. As far as I'm concerned, he died a good death. I only hope to die as well as him.
