Thinking about DEATH may actually be the key to living your best LIFE #TEDTalks
As a death doula, or someone who supports dying people and their loved ones, Alua Arthur spends a lot of time thinking about the end of life. In a profound talk that examines our brief, perfectly human time on this planet, she asks us to look at our lives through the lens of our deaths…

Eh, I’d rather maladaptively claw onto life since there’s nothing after it…

My dad was the only person that I could talk about death so openly with and it really helped me deal with his death when the time came. Am I still a bit afraid to die? Yes. But I find comfort in the fact that my dad also found comfort in transitioning to the other side. I miss talking with him about death.. death is beautiful ❤

I disagree. I did all the thinking about death I needed to do as a child. It took about 5 minutes. I realised death is inevitable and unavoidable.
What more is there to think about. Why would I waste any more of my life thinking about something I have no control over.

I think you have a point.
But I believe she is simply talking about realizing death is enviable and then make peace with that fact.
Only then can we say we have lived life well.
Best to you ❤

The more I thought about it the less scary it became. I’m still not as at peace as I want to be, but the fact it’s getting better gives me hope. 🙏🏾

_In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you._ ―Attributed to Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha)
Alua, you have the right approach. Death and life are the two sides of the same coin.
*_Without love and sense of humor there is unhappiness and life is meaningless._* 💕☮🌎🌌
