Shouldn’t We Be Talking About This? The Nature, Purpose and Necessity of Death

Why do some people seem to move through life with ease while others carry so much grief?

We don’t talk much about death in our culture, even though every one of us will face it. We face it in the people and pets we lose, and in the jobs, marriages and identities that come to an end. In this episode, Terry and Haydn have an honest, personal conversation about death as part of life, not its opposite. They share stories from hospice work, dreams of loved ones who have passed, and the fear of one day losing each other.

In this episode:

  • Why understanding death helps us understand life

  • How fear, desire, and feeling incapable keep us living divided lives

  • What Savitri teaches about meeting loss with the divine spark within

  • Why the soul returns lifetime after lifetime, and what it is seeking

  • Seven practices for living fully, including how to “practice dying daily”
