VIDEO: Exploring the Sacred in Death and Dying Six 18-27 minute programs
Does the end of life bring nothing but pain, disappointment and loss? Not according to Ron and his friends and family. In story after story, they tell about special moments along the way. Ron calls these “holy moments” and gives pointers about how we can identify and savor such moments in our own experience. Viewers learn how to talk to a dying person and those in grief: how to goodbye and take up unfinished business with those who die unexpectedly; how to be present to the dying and the grieving and how to trust our own best instincts.
