I remember the day my daughter Maria learned about bubbles. It was 1997 and she was 15 months old. I was sitting on our back steps and she was standing in front of me and when I pulled the wand out of the bottle in blue, bubbles surrounded her and she giggled as she tried to catch them.And if one managed to make it to the ground without popping, she'd try to pick it up. I probably wouldn't remember this sweet memory, a blur in a million captured across a childhood. But I remember this moment with Maria blow ...

Have you ever had anyone call you with morning. Isn't that the worst. They sound like they need a morning doover before the day is even gone and they say it's because they're just not a morning person.What happens if you receive a text message with just the letter M. What's an M to you. It's a typo. To them it's morning.And you're thinking to yourself, that's all the time they have. But what if I text you GM right now. What would you say.>> Exactly. We've conditioned ourselves over these years to minimize t ...

La terapeuta Remei Capitán ens fa reflexionar sobre la manera com acomiadem els éssers estimats i sobre la necessitat de recuperar rituals humans, propers i significatius. Amb sensibilitat i experiències reals, denuncia la fredor dels funerals actuals i defensa els homenatges personalitzats com a actes d’amor i sanació. Proposa repensar la mort des del respecte, la comunitat i la gratitud. La seva veu connecta dol, vida i esperança. Remei ens recorda que acomiadar-se no és un final: és una manera de tancar ...

[applause] [applause] My name is Dr. . Asma Husini and tonight I will be talking about death. Before I begin, if anyone of you are affected by my talk this evening, please do not hesitate to see me after this event.Before you start imagining how morbid or how dark your next 10 minutes of your life will be, let me assure you that you are not the only one. Death is a scary topic, but maybe not for the reasons that you think. It is scary because it is unknown and we hardly talk about it.So let's begin by talki ...

¿Qué le dirías a la persona que más amas si supieras que hoy es último día? No lo pienses demasiado, porque cuando yo le entendí ya fue tarde y entendí que el tiempo no avisa, no se detiene y no perdona, solo se va. Y se va con todo lo que no dijimos, con todo lo que dimos por hecho algún día y con todo el que creíamos tener asegurado. Hace 3 años perdí a mi padre. Tenía 53 años y una fuerza de excelencia inigualable. Lo diagnosticaron con cáncer en el 2016 y durante 6 años aprendí lo que nadie te enseña. V ...

In 2017, I teetered on the edge of life, just a moment from death. My upper body took a huge impact. A force so overwhelming, I collapsed, struggling to breathe.Darkness swallowed me thick and suffocating. And then something extraordinary happened. This pure blinding white light appeared all around me.I had no idea at the time, but I was on the verge of being thrust into the unknown. Uncharted territory. And then I woke up in hospital, machines beeping and tubes and needles running from my arms.And I began ...

Main Argument - The central argument is that society is generally uncomfortable discussing death, despite its inevitability [1][2] - Encourages open conversations about end-of-life wishes to alleviate fear and ensure loved ones understand individual preferences [1][4] - Advocates for normalizing discussions about death alongside other life events, such as birth and marriage [2][12] Key Observations - Individuals who plan and discuss their end-of-life preferences tend to experience gentler deaths, minimizing scrambling for answers in their final moments [4][5] - Avoiding these conversations can lead to regret, guilt, and unfinished business for surviving family members [5] - Over 90% of Australians recognize the importance of discussing end-of-life care, but 56% have not documented their preferences [5] - Half of Australians have not documented their final care preferences with their loved ones [6] Call to Action - Advocates for using the word "death" directly in conversations, rather than euphemisms [9] - Encourages individuals to consider their wishes regarding who should speak for them if incapacitated, where they want to be, who they want by their side, and what they want done with their body [10] - Suggests initiating these discussions with loved ones and friends, emphasizing that being prepared is an act of love [11][12]

South Korea's 'TV dad' Lee Soon-jae dies at 91 https://t.co/1El3hY3LuW ...

Hola, tengo dos cosas que les quiero confesar hoy día y la primera es que odio ese sonido. Yo no sé si es porque soy médico o a pesar de que soy médico, pero odio ese sonido. Y la segunda y tal vez más importante para hoy es que durante los 15 años que estudié medicina nunca nadie me habló de la muerte.Pero la vida se ha hecho cargo a su propia manera de acercarnos lo suficiente como para atreverme a hablarles de esto hoy día. Mi primer encuentro con la muerte fue a los 7 años. Un niño pequeño me tocaba par ...
