Stephen Jenkinson has accompanied more than a 1,000 persons on their deathbed and he has some strong words to say about palliative care. The dying were afraid they would suffer and so palliative care offered to control that while allowing the person to remain present. The result: it was not the magic bullet promised. Fear of death runs much deeper. Follow him as he takes us through a journey that profoundly turns our sense of self around. Watch it when you are in a quiet, peaceful, centred space. This is strong medicine! And extremely beautiful, wholesome.
This is above all what we need to learn together, to teach our children, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Then, life will be different and we will "live well together."
(Thanks to Phil Little for drawing my attention to this film.)
