Death is a mystery, but a certainty, that awaits us all and yet the death of a loved one can be a traumatic and unsettling time for family members and friends. Many feel the antithesis of death is life, when in truth the opposite of death is not life, it is birth. Just as birth is a sacred process, so is the death of the physical body. Whether unexpected or at the end of an illness, this sacred process is usually followed by an undefined period of grieving.

This site has been designed as a resource and guide to serve you as you navigate the death process and / or the undefined period of grief that follows that most often begins before our loved ones have even departed their physical body. Understanding all of the changes that occur at the end of life, can bring a greater sense of calm to the dying and their caregivers.

It is our hope, that information provided here may help you understand the deathing process and what to expect when someone you love transitions / passes away. Although everyone has different experiences, the information found here may help prepare you for the different periods / phases as you move through this sacred process.
