The Healing Project: Die Within Your Means

Updated: Jun 12, 2020

Can you afford to die? If you died today, who would be financially responsible?


The truth is, as adults, we are each responsible for our final disposition.


What is the point of securing a brick-and-mortar home without planning for a final resting place for your physical temple?

Being memorialized is a beautiful gesture. It can be quiet, reflective, creative, and demonstrative. A private celebrant , or even a shaman can be invited into the ceremony. Precious artifacts of\\from the deceased person's belongings can be offered as gifts to family and friends.

Cremation is an economical way to approach a situation that would otherwise be stressful on the survivors.


In the age of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), many people are not even getting an opportunity to say good-bye to their loved ones.


When death comes unexpectedly because of suicide, homicide, or some other tragic means, acceptance is seemingly impossible or unendurable.


Death anxiety has a paralyzing quality. It causes an individual to suspend thought; and, this proves detrimental in the long run.


Why? Because preparation is a major part of end-of-life planning.
