Comment on Here’s some things to think about by Kim M.

I think that asking for what we want is the hardest part. It’s hard for people in our culture to feel ownership of their health and to take an active role in caring for their bodies. I’m not sure why that is, but I think it leads to the belief that there are people in charge of things like birth, healthcare, and death, and that most of us just need to trust them. We don’t ask for what we want because we don’t believe we’re qualified! The education needs to start at that level – “You are in charge of your body.”

I’d like to hear other people’s definition of “sacred space.” To me, it’s literally guarding the person from disruptive or negative outside interference. The family need only think about what they are doing in the moment, to transition. The family is doing and feeling something profoundly intense, so they need to know that they can do what they feel they need to, and that there is someone whose job it is to see that they can.

I just read Chapter 2. You have explained very clearly how to get the word out. I will try very hard to do the work you have already proven will get results. I do have the time and can put some of my own money into this effort. I think it is a very good cause to be involved in.

I loved the metaphor of weaving in out among family members. From what I’ve learned so far, and how different each situation can be, it helps me to understand this better. The fluidity of weaving is like a dance. It can be beautiful and soothing when done well, but painful and disruptive if you are stepping on toes. The best dancers have instinct as well as training.

I enjoyed this chapter and the description of what a “death midwife” and their role. It clarified many questions that I am asked when I tell people that I am following this path.
