He was 45. Ironically, I had just returned home not even a full day from a death and dying workshop in Thailand. We were married for 20 years and his sudden departure, dropped me into a dark space where I went into an existential crisis where I began to contemplate the nature of death. Two years before his death in 2015, I lost my mother to diabetic complications. This book is my journey with death and dying and the wisdom death may have for each of us to step into living life with fullness.
