What finally causes us to begin to explore the impact of death in our lives? For Cathy Zheutlin it was the deaths around her. As her mother's partner and several friends moved towards the end of their lives, she watched how they found their way to full living regardless of their failing health. As a person who seeks answers she became curious about how this was possible, how they could become comfortable with death. She was aware of her own fear. And knowing that her beloved mother would soon pass this way motivated her to dive deeply into her feelings and thoughts about death and to open conversations with the people around her. Out of these thoughts and conversations comes Living While Dying, a film that explores in very personal terms our fear of death and the grief it brings with it.
On Good Grief we explore the losses that define our lives. Each week, we talk with people who have transformed themselves through the profound act of grieving. Why settle for surviving? Say yes to the many experiences that embody loss! Grief can teach you where your strengths are and ignite your courage. It can heighten your awareness of what is important to you and help you let go of what is not.
