Healing

[close] This group is for anyone who is Death Positive, death doulas, end-of-life midwives, hospice workers/volunteers, and anyone who has ever or will ever experience a death (yes, that means YOU!). We encourage open, honest discussion about the one thing that we are all guaranteed in this life, Death. My hope is that we can dull the fears, and return the sacredness of death to our universal consciousness, to allow everyone to live their unique life to its fullest until their last exhale. "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born The potential people who could have been here in my place But who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA So massively exceeds the set of actual people In the teeth of those stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds How dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state From which the vast majority have never stirred?" -Richard Dawkins

[close] Welcome to stories of truth & healing, a book club created by author Len Prazych. This space is for readers who believe that stories matter - especially the ones that speak about truth, memory, trauma, forgiveness, and healing. We'll discuss Len's memoir My Fathers: Letters of Healing on a Quest for the Truth, along with future works and selected books that explore personal truth, emotional resilience, and the courage it takes to speak honestly about the past. This is a respected, thoughtful community for readers who don't just read books - they feel them. All voices are welcome. curiosity, compassion, and honesty are encouraged.
