“Just because we are alive does not mean that we are truly living.”
Many people repress the finiteness of life. Yet it is our strongest motivation. But what really remains in the end? Why do we talk about everything—except death? For end-of-life caregiver Johanna Klug, death is not the opposite of life, but an amplifier. She has been accompanying dying people in palliative care wards and hospices since she was 16. And she knows that those who see finitude as part of life encounter life in a new, deeper way.
“Death is not the opposite of life – it is part of it.”
In this SMP LeaderTalk with Georgiy Michailov, she talks about what this work has done for her, why death is part of life for her, and why our approach to death needs to change. The two talk about saying goodbye with children, about regrets that arise in dying, about euthanasia and fasting before death.
