Many of us still cannot bear to talk about death. Even when we know it’s important. Even though we may want to. So why not? And what would we stand to gain if, instead, we learned to speak about dying more openly? www.vox.com/advice/42078...

The modern taboo that Americans just can’t seem to break
What if we were a little less scared to talk about death?

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

We need to make more space for the grief and the disorientation, I think.

“I approach end-of-life planning as a form of self-protection. It’s a way of defining who is family to me and who I trust to make decisions on my behalf. It sure as hell isn’t the state or the people I’m related to by blood.” xtramagazine.com/health/queer...

To my friends and family in the LGBTQIA+ community, I want you to know that you are seen. You are seen, heard, acknowledged. Do not let anyone take your existence and humanity from you.

It’s hard to hold every ounce of joy and grief and love in the same moment; it’s all so heavy. Isabelle—sweet nugget—seems to have brought so much to your world in such a short time. What a lovely gift (and so, so missed).

At any given moment there is more right with you than wrong with you. Even if you are a day away from dying. This can sometimes be hard to accept. However. It is a medical fact. 😊 #medicine #psychology #selfcompassion
