Have you wondered why the Everyone Dies team are working so hard at producing education about terminal illness, death, dying, and bereavement? There are probably times they wonder why themselves, but this is a group of very dedicated people!
This week we are sharing an interview Marianne did with Dr. Diana Mason at WIOX Radio about Everyone Dies. In this interview you will hear about why Everyone Dies was started and Marianne’s nursing career. (See more of Dr. Mason’s info below)
After Dying – By Sam Magill
This is how I want to wake up after dying:
To slowly become aware as light tiptoes into the room,
To have gentle thoughts that coalesce from dreams—
Soft and fragile, then as clear and focused as the morning air—
To know that after all the difficult passages of a former life
I can smile again and look forward to the day,
Knowing who I have always been,
Knowing exactly what I love,
And what those persistent angels
Have always wanted me to do.
