Yes, it's that conversation, the one no one wants to have. But this one comes with a different perspective: a process and Buddhist outlook on the death industry's impact on the environment and alternatives. Death and dying has been taken out of the hands of families and our ancestral wisdom has been lost. We don't know how to die anymore. That often leads to painful, exhausting, and invasive but fruitless procedures from a medical industry that perceives death as failure. It leads to environmentally devastating practices that feeds a for-profit funeral industry. There is a way to reclaim our own dying, to have a good death with quality of life toward the end, and give back to the earth through green options. We also address the "Death File" and what should be included.
