"one of the worst things we could do is get used to death, treat it as unremarkable or as anything other than a loss," from Susanna Siegel, in "How Death Shapes Life" helps put current headlines in perspective.
Openness about #endoflife nurtures empathy and understanding that makes us better colleagues and leaders. Death "will be there while you’re working, it will be there when you’re done."
An #endoflife one can be proud of is proceeded by work done well and a life well-lived.

There is so much activity in the death aware/positive community. I hope to add to it - hosting my first death cafe May 13 in Berkeley, California. @DeathCafe
As @LifeDeathGrief's #DemystifyingDeathWeek segues into @DyingMatters #DyingMattersWeek, here's a video from Ireland: @TEDxDunLaoghair Youth meeting.
"Who do you want to thank?
To make peace with?
Who needs to know you love them?
Make that your homework."

I'm hosting a Death Cafe. Why?
The gift of witnessing parents take their last breath a decade apart
The gift of scattering their ashes with siblings at a special location
A desire to continue the conversation.

I just subscribed to Next Up because Groner’s writing is frequently unexpected and always actionable or thought provoking.

A neighbor shared their struggles with #seniororalhealth
Tears instead of smiles trying to access affordable care. The comments are filled with kind support and helpful suggestions. Why is this so hard?

I am often inspired by the words of others. I echo and applaud a line from my friend's profile, "I'm motivated by a worthy mission, and a healthy work-life balance." Thank you. I needed to read that today.

"junkyard person" I have found people that think and see the world as I do. However there are very tidy corners of my junkyard. Hubcaps here. Carburetors there.
maybe I just need to embrace @visakanv junkyard approach, I might just be a junkyard person

Any help with this @SFBART? Police officers are regularly parking in & blocking Oakland's protected intersections around the Lake Merritt station that have been instrumental in improving bike/walk safety stats in the area.
