Best Life Best Death

How can a conversation about mortality enrich your life?

Welcome!

Even before the pandemic overturned what I thought of as “normal,” I took a class about death, and I found that it changed the way I viewed life. I took another class after that one, surprised by how the discussions about dying seemed to open so much about living. A few more trainings down the road, and here I am —excited to be working with all kinds of people through Best Life Best Death, which features:

Courses in the “Best 3 Months” process
Free book discussions and movie nights
Individual coaching
This website — with a variety of resources for you to explore
And the weekly Best Life Best Death podcast which takes the “conversation” we are having even wider!

Read on, because the fascinating truth is, when we think about our mortality — we find out what matters most and that changes how we live.

6 Reasons to
Have a Conversation about Mortality

Download the mini booklet to discover and share with friends the top 6 Reasons to Have a Conversation about Mortality. A great tool for introducing the topic to family & friends.

“People who are willing to contemplate their aging, vulnerability, and mortality often live better lives in old age and illness, and experience better deaths, than those who don’t.”

—Katy Butler, The Art of Dying Well

I agree with the above quote whole-heartedly! Best Life Best Death was born from my passion to create a place for just such conversations. Talking in a direct, positive way about the end of life brings clarity not only to dying, but to all of the years we have left to live.

Looking directly at our mortality may seem scary or confusing, but it can also offer real motivation and empowerment. How many of us know what we need to do, but never quite make it happen? The conversations we could have, but never quite get around to? Join me to explore, create your personal end-of-life plan, and figure out what matters most.

Here are just a few of the fascinating and complex topics that come up in conversations I have with people:

What can I do to support my dying friend/relative/loved one and their caregivers?
What does “tying up loose ends” mean for me, at this time?
How common are extra-ordinary end-of-life experiences, like dreams of deceased relatives, and what can I learn from these mysteries?
How can grief & loss be transformational experiences?
What happens physically when we are dying and how might we approach it with more knowledge & equanimity?
How do I start this conversation with my parents/children/siblings/spouses/sweetheart?
Is it possible to experience joy and calm around death?
What might death — this most human and final of all transitions — have to teach me?

These discussions are some of the richest I have ever known, filled with true stories and honest questions. You don’t have to know the answers to get started — you just have to have the courage to begin.
