Couldn’t have said it better... ❤️‍🩹

I have witnessed many last breaths... too many to count. When I am at the bedside, I know when someone is about die, I am able to educate, support, and prepare families. I can tell them there might be sounds or body movements, which are a normal part of the dying process, but can sometimes be startling and even scary. If I tell them ahead of time, I can hopefully remove some of their fear, and that is always my goal.

I am not startled by death, I am not surprised by death, and I am not afraid of death. I have the tools to help others whether they are dying, or preparing to say goodbye, and I feel confident in my place at those moments.

And yet... every time that last breath is taken, I still feel so amazed and sometimes even surprised by it all, especially the miraculous way the body knows what to do. What gets me every single time, is the loud silence that happens after... that's when it hits me... someone has died... a life has ended. This is big... it's huge... and I have so much respect for that moment.

I worry sometimes that I will lose that, but instead, I think my respect for life and death, has increased over time. I feel a need to honor each last breath, to sit quietly for a moment, to not rush anything, and to just breathe in the stillness of the room.

It is truly an honor to be with someone who is dying, and when I am invited to be at their bedside, I respect and appreciate them and those who are saying goodbye. I never take these sacred moments for granted. I hope I always feel this way...

Image Artwork by Shanti Herrington The world can seem like a cruel place sometimes, but it is important not to dwell here. Instead, it is important to focus on the kind actions that take place every single moment of every single day. The more we focus on the negative and cruel aspects of the world,....

It does help maintain it tho once you have lost it through your food choices and helps so many other things like better sleep, lower blood pressure and just getting out in the good old outdoors with fresh air and sun! Walking is the best for women to not increase your appetite after you exercise. If you are always hungry after you work out it can lead you to eat more which will cancel out all the hard work you just put in. Exercise is great but don't kill yourself or wear out your body thinking it's the only way to get to your goals! Happy New Year and don't forget to boost your immune system to ward off the flu by getting yourself a massage!!!!

Got a few pounds to lose? Cancel the gym membership. An increasing body of research reveals that exercise does next to nothing for you when it comes to losing weight. A result for couch potatoes, yes, but also one that could have serious implications for the government's long-term health strategy
