Susan Cain, who wrote this article for Psychology Today asks:
"What narrative have you constructed from the events of your life"? "The stories we tell about ourselves are the key to our well-being". Susan says the "idea is not to delude yourself that bad things are actually good It is, instead, to find meaning in the progression from one event to the next. It is to recognize that everything constantly changes. "Our stories are everything. They are the heart of love and of meaning. So what is your story"? A Necessary Conversation asks "What is your backstory with death, dying and grief"? There is a possibility you may not be clear on what your backstory is with death. We live in a death phobic society that does not openly discusses death, dying and grief. Your history with end of life will most likely predict how you will respond to future death experiences. Take the steps to: Be proactive. Be emotionally present with the dying. Repair the relationships with dying. Prepared documents to ensure your safety. Feel confident in your medical care choices Explore. Empower. Enrich. Your Journey. Your Way.
