A propos de cet article

A series of propositions and encounters in service to an aesthetic and poetic experience of living life led by death. Part studious, part visceral, Dying Livingly is a collection of short essays and lyrical prose written in the first few years of the author's holistic death care practice. With a focus on the material cultures and sociality of end-of-life spaces, the writing reaches toward a future of compassionate, community-centered death care. Death has been outsourced, medicalized, and commodified for over a century. Existing at a threshold of innovation and transformation today, death is not a plight to master or transcend but a reality of insistent change requiring our humble surrender. Working in tandem with the possibilities and limits of medicine, the holistic death care movement aims to support people and their communities in death literacy and phobia. It stewards both ancient and new practices in death care and centers social, political, and ecological imperatives for how we die. If death is an amplification of living, the attention here is on bearing witness to life in and around the dying. Living a death-oriented life is not simply for those and their loved ones navigating a terminal diagnosis and finite amount of time to live; it is for all of us. Death awareness leads to a valuing of life, which is urgently needed for justice, healing, and our livability. With fervor and deep reverence, this collection demonstrates that what is needed above all is a presence-simple but challenging-that refuses to look away as life slips from our grip. In this light, the writing details lessons in what it means to be prepared for death but also impossibly ready, an ambivalent leap into the unknown. Death is a horizon that inspires us to live fully, with the vulnerability necessary in giving and receiving care.…
