Why Death, Dying, and Bereavement?
Welcome to my first posting on “The Journey Ahead"(changed to In Due Course in April 2008). As I sit down and start writing, I realize that you may be wondering what the significance of the title is and why I am discussing death, dying, and bereavement. I chose “The Journey Ahead” because of what each of us has ahead of us on our own life journey. Part of the journey ahead is suffering through the death of people we love, and part is experiencing our own death. You might ask, “Why should I want to have anything to do with death, dying, and bereavement, I’m not dying or grieving? Besides, that’s morbid!” Based on my professional and personal experience, I think there are two reasons to openly discuss these topics: one is more philosophical, the other is more practical.
