A Good Death: An Interview with Stephen Jenkinson
Author of Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul, and subject of the
documentary Griefwalker, palliative care counselor and theologian
Stephen Jenkinson invites us to contemplate the mystery and meaning of a
"good death" so we may more fully embrace life. Drawing on Buddhism and
the ancestral wisdom of indigenous people, Jenkinson ponders the ways
in which Western individualism has contributed to a death-phobic
culture. Through understanding and accepting the reality that our time
on earth is finite, Jenkinson believes we have a golden opportunity to
inhabit our days with "a kind of depth and precision and faithfulness"
that can empower us to openly love that which we hold most dear. Learn
more about the enlightening experiences and perspective of the
Griefwalker in this thought provoking interview.
