Conversations about death don't have to be morbid. 
Following the 'Positive Death Movement' and public education such as Death Cafés, many of us yearn to speak more openly about dying and death in ways that are more natural and direct.\n21 Days to Die was written in that spirit, in the hope that all Canadians will come to recognize the signs of physical death and the sequence to facilitate necessary conversations and better timely decision-making. The book addresses both the medical and advanced care planning aspects, but also aspects such as psycho-social needs, grief work, rites of passage and much more.\nWritten by a social worker and lay Buddhist Chaplain, 21 Days to Die inspires fearlessness in the face of seeing what doesn't want to be seen. Under these circumstances the mindfulness practices of being fully present in the moment and remembering the impermanence of all living things are both universal and calming.\nDying people deserve loved ones who are prepared to take the journey with them to their final 
breaths with their eyes wide open.\nResources

A pile of seeds, a tuft of wool, a vessel of water, a closed box\nWhat happens when the heroes disappear, when the battle for the city is over, when you return to the island and find a box in your hands? There was an instruction once that told us why the box should never be opened. But you don't believe those stories anymore. You always open the box.\nAfter Ithaca is a non-fiction work - part memoir, part essay, part travelogue - that follows a real life journey of descent in a world on the tip of crisis. It is set in the Peruvian rainforest, in the backrooms of Suffolk towns, in Japan, in France, Australia, in the desert borderlands, in borrowed houses and Occupy tents, in kitchens and burial chambers, underneath a lemon tree on an abandoned terrace...\nThe book revolves around the four initiatory tasks of Psyche, set by Venus, the goddess of love and justice: four territories that map this search for meaning and coherence in a time of fall. Each chapter starts with a memory of place as a clue to the investigation: the recovery of a relationship with wild nature, with being human, a kind of archaeology for the pieces of self that lie missing beneath a broken storyline, like the sherds of a pot. 
It is a personal story and also a social story, about the relinquishment of a certain world, that looks at writing as an existential practice: showing how myth can be a techne for finding our lost voice, our medicine of how to put a crooked thing straight.\nHow to pull ourselves out of the wreckage, and start again.
