    Death is an uncomfortable topic for the majority. No matter how much one prepares mentally for death and accepts, it is in human nature to fight for that last breath. If one accepts death as part of their path your existence will be calmer, further fulfilling and positive. Nothing better than accepting death and reminding oneself of the inescapable, to further push oneself to live a life full of adventure and love.

  • @dipakganguli2027

    If someone asked me what will you give back to Earth? I honestly be lost for an answer. Because Earth just gives gives gives - the food the beauty the day the night my body my mind my spirit all these and more are gifts from the Earth. And I, what do I do; I just take take and take! The Earth is incredibly unselfish. I get clear display of this unselfihness in all animals, all trees, every flower, every drop of water that sustains me. I ask myself do I have the right to take so much? The Upanishad says desire nothing, all objects you see in front of you are an illusion - a mirror in your mind, but you can give your love unselfishly like the animals do and Aatmanom Biddhi - you will know yourself. If I could achieve this the Earth will be happy. My dear Earth needs nothing more from Me.

    I am 70yo and remember when I was a kid after my grandma died an elderly neighbour said "don´t remember her death, much better to remember her life."

    Being a Registered Nurse... I accepted death early in my career. I feel the best way to live is to pack as much love and purpose in each day. Life is a precious gift and should be treated as such. Dwell on positive thoughts and take delight in the little things. Be proud of your accomplishments and pat yourself on the back when you have completed a task, particularly the difficult ones.

    I said to my husband a number of years ago that if I die before him not to have my body embalmed but have me buried in the most natural way possible and plant a tree over my grave so that I can become part of the tree. Recently I found a lovely green buriel site near where I live so that’s where I’ll be one day. It’s so lovely to see that the ladies in this film are like minded. I can’t think of anything more beautiful than helping to feed the land with my own body.

    Isn't it death that makes life so precious, livable? Steve Jobs from a well-known brand said once that death was his greatest motivator. I love to acknowledge that we all are one. An expression from the ONE that is. Behind your eyes I see that ONE. We are spirits. Sharing that experience of being human for a while. No past, no future...those are concepts. There only is the eternal now. "Namaste" says it all.

    I would love to be buried in some field, under some big old tree.......To help it, along its journey.

    I think about death everyday. All my closest family members are dead. I was fortunate to be home with my mom when she was ill & dying & the nurses at the same hospital she trained & taught at 60 yrs before were her students, now taking care of & loving us as family, since we were there so often for her to be drained. All my life I was her girl, but she overtime had became my girl, too! She died in the hospital in a room next to her best friend of 50 yrs! 2 weeks before, they’d seen each other in the karaoke room & after surgery, my mom, while still on a gurney, sang the song, Downtown & that’s when she saw her best friend & they blew each other kisses! They both had cateracts...& thought each other looked wonderful! Now...I can’t help but think they were looking at each other’s souls! For they were both LOVE! Wonderful strong loving women I’ve been blessed to know! What a great gift to have participated in their lives! ♥️🌹🌿

    I lost my father when he was 54 and I was 25, I had tumors at a very young age and then cancer, I went through a lot but I'm still here, I'm still alive.
    And what I would like to say to you all is :do not be afraid of death. Death is there to remind us that the time we have is not unlimited, so we have to celebrate life every single day, trying to pursue our dreams and remain true to ourselves.
    Let's reconnect with our spirit, with Nature, with all living creatures, and please let's all be kind to ourselves and to the world. Let's spread love...love is so healing guys, so fulfilling. Let's slow down and spread light and hope and beauty all around us.
    Death is only an illusion, love is real.

    I lived in this house that I loved so much for 13 years of my life and i always thought that if I died I wanted to be buried there in the 5 acres of wilderness without costing my family much to bury me . But life takes you different places and here I am still alive and in another state living in an urban block wishing to go back to the country one day. I have the hope of the second coming because without that what hope is there left to hold on to?

      @fredbastian - Just as you say, life takes twists and turns. We have filmed with many people, living in big urban city centres, who have slowly, over time, found ways to connect with nature, to live a more simple life, have found their passion and purpose. Find ways to embrace 'the country' that surrounds in small ways every day. Big warm hug to you x

    My parents’ bodies after death were taken from us, embalmed, encased and buried. The process was devoid of meaning. This giving back to the earth is sacred.

    This is enlightening however, knowing the very fact of being immortal, one got to be conscious of why he/she was created and where we go after passing on and question whether we are prepared for the hereafter. It's mentioned in the holy book that this life is only a path to the hereafter (Eternity). ALLAH revealed to us the guidelines to Paradise and hell. And gave each person the will to choose.

    About two years ago I started making my wife and kids aware of my desire for a shroud burial. Some cemeteries do not allow this, but there are a growing number that do. In actuality, once I'm dead, I'm no longer part of the decision and they can dispose of my remains how they want. My remains will be oblivious to their disposal. Funerals are for the living.
    I have escaped accidental death at least 6 times in my life. It has changed the way I look at things. When you've been to the edge and thought that, "this is it, I'm dead" and then survive, it changes you. When it happens multiple times, it gives you a perspective on mortality which is different than that of a lot of people. I have no fear of death. What comes before, however, does concern me a little.
    I can't know until faced with it again, but when the final curtain is drawn, I will again probably try to survive, but if it really is the end, it's not as if I will have a choice.
