the finality of death is overwhelming for a lot of people in fact more than half of americans are afraid or very afraid of facing it according to a chapman university study but the birth of the death positive movement is hoping to change the cultural mindset from coffin clubs to death cafes people are learning ways to be comfortable with dying the campaign is also the basis for a new h.b.o. documentary alternate endings 6 new ways to die in america take a look. it's going to. kill me what i have to do i want to go out with the quality of a lot of my druid. there are so many options. we provide. for those all true because you say that we don't want special burials funny you know people ask why are you taking off work and you know go with my friend to pick out for burial plot. he wanted the memorial service like.

it's ok to do something not traditional to celebrate it to under somebody's sight. and here to talk about death positivity from burlington vermont francesco arnold she is an end of life to live and author of cultivating the dual heart the essentials of compassionate care and los angeles california a lou arthur she's also an end of life to live and trainer in seattle washington michael had he's the founder of beth over dinner an organization aimed at changing the way we talk about death and in heart michigan sara cruz she's president of the national home funeral alliance and valinor of heartland prairie cemetery the 1st all natural burial ground in kansas welcome everyone to this stream i want to start with the view from our audience our community because we asked them why is this

conversation so difficult to have acknowledging that it is a difficult conversation and this is the answer from mr mack attack on twitter who says it's because i like being alive so get so with that in mind i would agree i would agree with 6 our viewer on twitter here i want to open this one up to the floor when was the 1st time you were faced with your own mortality you want to take that one on 1st. the very 1st time i was faced with my mortality was when i was on a bus in cuba with a woman who was 36 and had uterine cancer and while it was really about the end of her life it brought the end of my life into very sharp focus i had had conversations about death the a radically but it was the 1st time that i thought i'm going to die everybody here is going to die why are we not talking about the fact that we're going to die why are we not living in relationship with the end of our lives consistently and for me that was the 1st time that my death the end of my life actually became very very

salient but it had the power to bring me back into the present moment and to help me redefine the values upon which i wanted to live and the values upon which i want to carry out the rest of my life. michel. yeah well it actually was a pretty sad moment it was when i was in 2nd grade. and my father who was much older than most fathers was diagnosed with alzheimer's and that was the beginning of his decline what wasn't clear and what wasn't make clear to us as children was that he was going to die and it was me soon and the lack of conversation about death the fact that it at this almost shameful amorphous presence in our life proved to be really detrimental to our family to me personally but also to our family structure and. my father's illness and his loss at

a very negative us. all of our family the health etc and so it's one of the core reason and probably thought for a reason why if this were so people don't have to have that experience thank you for sharing that with that sorry to hear about your loss there francesca what about for you. i think for me i experienced the last 3rd love blinds a little later in life i lost a dear on it when i was the 120 but in still less than about my mortality when she died it was about my grief and my connection with her it wasn't until i had my own children that i really started to think about the impact of my death on other people and that was the impetus for me to start planning and preparing and trying to do what i can to organize my own lying and lying for them and sarah. my story is similar to francesca's i didn't spend a lot of time thinking about it but i had an experience of beloved aunt dying when

i was quite young 12 years old and. you know ever since then it's just been really taking a look and when i had children that's when really my own mortality became a little clearer and decided it was important to pay attention so i want to share this from juliet on twitter who says it isn't inevitable part of life that we all have to deal with sometimes very unexpectedly but we don't discuss it we use euphemisms to pussyfoot around talking about it even in the event of a peaceful expected that it is very isolating for survivors when others are simply unwilling embarrassed awkward in addressing the subject of the dead person and feelings associated with loss of guilt anger grief because they've never been encouraged to talk about it michael why do you think it is that we're so afraid to talk about this subject and so awkward about it when we do talk about it. well i

think there's lots of reasons i have a lot of compassion for the difficulty that people. were actually not designed as humans to face our mortality something called a number of different biases that keep us from thinking about thinking about the fact that we're not going to hear. the nobel prize winning psychologist to incredible work around these biases that certain things out of our reach i mean really. i mean there are so many. acts of negative effects of this case in this situation but one of the big ones is that if we don't know or loved ones wishes if we don't have this conversation we don't know it on earth and if we don't know on it or know how to honor someone. we grieve longer and we grieve longer it has huge and. it's also leads to an incredible number so there's

a motion loss and there's financial loss there's a low. and of course part of being wrapped up in that conversation is the different cultural experiences that we all bring to it so i want to share 2 different tweets here the 1st is from rama and i'll direct these to you rama says this is a fascinating topic i'm generalizing to some extent here but what happens post death is not given much more serious thought in kenya but oaks dying without wells triggering a long drawn out succession battles are rather common and we're still stuck in the bury or cremate debate so that's one person reading from that experience another writes and this is dan how sad. and whose has death is inevitable i don't fear death i only fear what i will face after death as a muslim and though i bring this up to ask whether or not you think that this conversation in itself is one that is specific to the audience listening or do you

think this is something that's universal and can be applied to people of different faith traditions different backgrounds different cultures. one of the most fascinating things about death is that it is entirely universal everybody is going to have to experience that one point or another so the conversation about death well that's the something that is a plausible to every person on the planet different cultures deal with it differently and so that creates some variance and i were preparedness for it and our relationship to dying in a lot of the cultures there's still a sense of elder hood and elders i revere it whereas in places like the united states for instance aging and you have a premium upon it and so in cultures where there is a stronger respect for elder hood and for the aging process i find that there is a great a relationship to dying and a greater awareness or. or coming together of the fact that life is actually means getting old and possibly definitely dying so. there's make

a big difference but the reality is it's just it's a political to every single one of us the way that our culture has changed now also has a big impact in that we're dying not in community so much anymore we go off to elder care facilities or we die in hospitals there's not a bunch of i'd like to add to that yeah absolutely i want to get on that not of fear we. dying in medical settings for the most part 75 percent of people in the u.s. say that they would like to die at home we're also then outsourcing the care for dad to what has become it like 20 $1000000000.00 a year industry rather than reclaiming that tradition of caring for our own at home and and then having a natural burial afterwards so that kind of those sort of cultural traditions of taking care of our own being familiar with that tasks associated with after death

care have completely gone away from this generational wisdom that has been passed down for millennia. and let's say. we find. a counterpoint in the food industry we industrialized in our food is not as to tricia's. as a result we turned. into a medical or stacked medical where it's actually a community. it's what sarah was discussing there's a reclaiming that is possible to us but actually requires litters so to make decisions about anything we need literacy and i think that's the works of oh. analysts are doing in our money which is raising the literacy around. reducing that . but if you want if we have time just to talk about the door and the dread that actually your arrogance. i of course we have time for that and i think that it's

part of what this conversation is but you raise so many important point there that i wanted to pick apart them so that we make sure we get all of them one of the things you talked about is the fact that this is kind of been medicalized to and turn to something that is not such an empathetic process anymore so i wanted to share this from calve who says practically i have a will i want to be buried in as low impact a way as possible ideally under a tree after every scrap of me that can be used to help someone else has been taken from me my body is just a vehicle for my soul once i'm done with it i don't much care and sara naturally i'm going to give this one to you because this is something at the heart of what you do so when michael was talking about did the way because it's really not bad to put words in your mouth michael but the gist of it was this is become such a cold process you're trying to push away from that sara that's correct so you're not only is the dying become a court process of the. burning ourselves has turned

into immensely resource intensive the way that we do it in this country. we're burying just. ranges of amounts of steel and coffin excuse me and concrete and like rain forest harvested hardwoods in the ground every year not to mention all about embalming fluid and what people don't realize is that none of that is necessary you literally can be wrapped in and. that can be as simple as a quilt that your grandmother made and laid and made sure one of the things nature does best is decompose you know and it is just so simple we'd like over complicated not only dying the after death care and and burial you know. i'd like to add for i really acknowledge you for being so clear about what your

wishes are and absolutely fair point it's very important that those of us that have values and caring for our planet while we're living need to carry those through into our dying as well one very very key point however is to make sure that we are writing down our wishes wishes need to be written down and it requires us to talk about it 1st of the people in our lives know what it is that we want written down so that after our death the people in our lives aren't struggling to try and figure out what we would have wanted a little i love this point well i will admit i do not have a will and i talked to my sisters about it often and were morbid and so we talk about the next time thanksgiving rolls around and all the family is together we want to sit down and make it a will writing session so that exactly that happens show of hands that our panel how many of you have a will how many of you have family members and friends who know your wishes. aside from just a will will it's like a. slip of the iceberg because actually dealing with your possessions what about

your desires for a life support that causes so much more grief in a hard day than what happens with your are granted that is difficult as well but people care about they care about what you value how long you want to be kept on life support what. it is what you do and that you can sure leave things mother right. francesca i see you trying to get ahead we haven't heard from you i'm going to go ahead francesca i also feel like it's a service to your loved ones to develop your more personal wishes so i myself have created a death journal and my family knows where it is and that it exists and they've seen it in close form and within it i have a mental as i have photos i have it's kind of a scrapbook of life but it also have has messages to my family it has all of my wishes it has the ways in which i hope that they take really good care of themselves during grieving so in this way it's that it gives me peace of mind knowing that i'm doing as much as i can in advance and that i can still care for

them in my absence so they have everything that played out everything that i thought of the music the poems the readings what i see as being comfortable as an atmosphere for my dying for my aftercare plans as well here's another group of people that are doing just a couple tweets here from good to go that's the organization they write i facilitate advance planning parties where people while young and healthy can get together it's like a death cafe but with homework so with a rock'n'roll death soundtrack cocktails and potluck dishes to share we talk about death duties and go over the good to go departure file before an emergency they go on to say that we gather together to talk about death grief dying and death preparedness and attendees leave with advance planning documents so this is one idea but taking it even another step forward or someone who sent us a video comment about something called the dinner party it's similar to what you do michel so i'll play this from carla fernandez and i love you to tell me what you

think about it. now assume that 20 and 30 somethings just don't want to talk about grief and loss and life after but for those of us who actually lived it and are oftentimes the 1st people in our peer group to someone leave very much do want to talk about it or some of us do it's that we don't always have the people in our networks who we feel safe to approaching to have a conversation it's not really something you can bring up at the office water cooler while you're out of the bar so through the dinner party we're helping to match people to one another based on or zip codes based on what they like to do on the weekends so that they can actually have a community of friends who get it and understand the highs and the lows of life after losing someone and help each other move forward together. so michael that's one way tell us about that over dinner one of the words that carla and that was the dinner party so and i also want to acknowledge even though we're giving people a lot of great ideas it is very hard to get these things done i spent so many years

building just over dinner there's been over a 1000000 people who sat down and used our resources over dinner or. sort of a book about how to have a conversation about death and i did complete my own will and i used the 5 wishes to do this instill i had published the book so how did it take i have a great deal of compassion for people that have broached this topic and one of the ways that it has been difficult for all of us is that people haven't made it attractive haven't made graceful ways or exciting ways to have this conversation over dinner is that it is here is a beautiful way to have this conversation and we give people the scripts all of the resources for free online. and the people who. are sometimes sometimes a narrative. neal where they talk about not just death but really how they one of

the. and i want to give we've been talking a bit about the stick i want to give people the care here that sure that's attached to this conversation we know that facing our mortality actually makes us funny there are studies that have and it improves our sense of humor and there's been an earlier work done by dr dad about how it actually increases our capacity to love and our ability to connect with our life partner and so you know we've got laughter and love and human connection out of this recession those are the things we need for avant chair but those are the things we want in life so it's not just call that we're selling here i love that you have and this is the tweet you got from campsie who says. embracing death can assist us and living a happier life it can make us savor every day we spend alive it is hard but anyone who can should accept that as a surgeon so those who have accepted that fact i want to push on just

a little bit to introduce another idea this film dr and that she's the person who gave us the idea for the show in the 1st place she pitched this topic because she wanted us to look into end of life do a lot as well she sent us a video comment about what that is and for just i'll direct this one to you have a listen. what do end of life do is do we work with people often from the time of the life limiting or terminal diagnosis all the way through to the act of dying in death and sometimes we even help with the funeral and grief support afterwards if you are to live like me with clients focused client centered and. be here to support from compassionate communities laugh with you listen to you. answer your questions honestly and openly we're here for you let's talk. dusk of high that's beautiful i really appreciate her description and you know we are not medical emotional support people and the demands that we've seen for our

training courses been astounding it's remarkable how many people are stepping up into this work and are interested in it we've had over 500 people completed on line we're getting people from all over the world but we're not only getting private practice to us we're getting doctors nurses nurses aides yourself care providers mental health workers hospice volunteers people are eager for this information how do i offer compassionate support how can i come in with a non judge mental approach how can i sit with people in silence it's really beautiful and it gives back to me so much more than i can explain a little your little bit what i've got to do what i feel you try to jump in there but i'm so curious are there many people of color doing the work that you do. there are not yet. i find it often when i walk into rooms that practitioners there are generally probably in the 50 years she age range and older white women not only do

we not have a lot of people of color we also don't have a lot of men and we also don't have people that that assign any that outside the gender conformity so what i'm finding particularly with my work is that i've created opportunities for people to have representation and feel as though they're somebody who understands what their background is and particularly what is important to them in my training course also where i trained at those i'm finding that i am i have a lot of people of color that are signing up for this course lot of people that identifier square or are there somehow and it's really important since all of us at some point are going to die it's very nice to know that the person that sitting across from you might understand your experience and we can learn not only the emotional spiritual and practical components of caring for dying but also honor the individual athlete complete individual as a complete individual looking at all elements. i want to bring this up here in the

closing minutes of our conversation and share each as you try to get in there so i'll directed to you the turia says she wants people to know it's ok to say their dead out loud acknowledgment of ownership over i want mortality can only lead to being more relaxed talking about death would you agree with their. i absolutely agree with her you know starting to use rather than using use from assumes to use the actual words you know even when we're talking with children about that but i wanted to add to what the death due allowance where we're saying about being there you know present go on down the continuum of care. that after death work becoming familiar with these after death task caring for our own once loved ones at home being physically and personally involved in the burial of our own dad. allows us to grieve a little more healthily perhaps and we've relegated ourselves as spectators after

death you know where we stand there and have it done for us and so a lot of my work is about choice people understanding that they can do this legally you can keep a body at home you can take care of it there you can and you need to maybe connect with a home funeral guide who knows the law in your state but in virtually every state you can do this and find out if you've got a. green beret around nearby and so check out the home if you're online and that org to find a home funeral guides that are familiar with state law and. and i'm glad you can bear out counsel yeah go ahead right up there because what what the user is getting is a laundry list of some great ideas and great to sinners and what we're still lacking all our resources that somebody when they're in the middle of a crisis we're grieving jewellers to the practitioners who what we've said i wish

sam is a than this is just 0 live from doha so coming up. cleared to sail gibraltar releases in the rainy an oil tanker but the u.s. isn't happy. watering down climate language pacific island leaders accuse a stray me of blocking action. the prime minister of toma actually. in the retreat you know. the leader of the. ship in front of the leaders. and how donald trump's hardline policy on my brands is forcing many to risk crossing scorching deserts. israel has banned 2 u.s. democratic party congress women from visiting because of what it calls fair boycott

activities against israel. and russia that's a lie jew in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem this weekend john hendren reports from washington d.c. . president donald trump's feud with congressional democrats just crossed international boundaries with 2 democratic house members planning a trip to israel in the occupied west bank trump urged israel to ban them from entry they are very anti jewish and they're very anti israel i think it's disgraceful that they say said that they've become the face. of the democratic party i can't imagine why israel would let them in a thursday morning tweet to that effect from trump is apparently all it took for israel to reverse its earlier position barring ill hand omar and rashida to lead from entering the country israel's prime minister cited their support of a boycott of israel and we are not willing to admit into israel those who call for the boycott of the state of israel and act to deal with the state of the jews trump

successful effort to pressure israel is the latest salvo in his battle with the squad for democratic women of color in congress. omar fired back saying it is an affront that israeli prime minister netanyahu under pressure from president trump would deny entry to representatives of the u.s. government trumps muslim band is what israel is implementing this time against 2 duly elected members of congress there's a long standing tradition in u.s. politics that however contentious things are at home u.s. presidents do not enlist allies abroad to target political opponents but trump has never been bound by conventional politics. the president has said the 4 members of the squad should go back to their countries even though 3 of them were born here in the u.s. that hasn't stopped crowds at his rallies from chanting send her back. the unprecedented ban on to members of the u.s. congress was widely condemned by democrats and republicans in congress alike by the

palestine liberation organization this is. unacceptable and said that. american people even the pro israel american israel public affairs committee joined in saying in a statement that while the group disagrees with the congresswoman every member of congress should be able to visit an experience our democratic ally israel 1st hand . with both trump and netanyahu facing upcoming elections the temptation to team up against a common adversary was apparently too great to pass up john hendren al-jazeera washington we spoke to bill schneider our political analyst and a professor at george mason university he believes israel's decision might have bank 5 president trump i believe the president was expecting hoping perhaps to split democrats on the on the issue of israel and over the support of these 2 democratic representatives who tried to make their trip to israel he thought the

democrats would split because they are controversial figures in the democratic party but instead what he has done is unite the democratic party against him against president trump and enlisted a few republicans as well most republicans are keeping silent about this some like senator marco rubio of florida have openly criticized the president that is not the reaction he expected to get congresswoman rashida to lie who has palestinian heritage just said she will continue to fight for entry into palestine and permission to see her aging grandmother. and that's unfortunate because. you know we see israel is a democracy as a democratic country very obvious that they're trying to limit. what i'm able to get there i think my call is to see my grandmother you know i can't she's in her ninety's just to be my last chance to see her and so i'm going to continue to fight

. and demand that the provide access for me and my colleagues to come to israel into the process areas and to be able to listen to hear people. and it's really disservice to all of us that want to see peace. and the rainy and super tanker could set sail it any time after gibraltar the supreme court ruled it should no longer be detained the grace one was seized off the british territory last month after its crew is suspected of breaking you sanctions by taking all to syria iran has denied those claims calling the detention an act of piracy under simmons reports from gibraltar. the grace warner and co of gibraltar its panamanian registration changed yet the iranian flag still not in place it's thursday the start of the 43rd and final day of its detention but a major legal twist on shore in the gibraltar supreme court had

a judge seeming somewhat baffled and the crew on board wondering if they'd ever get away the attorney general's legal team had a plan to release the supertanker but only hours before that was supposed to happen the u.s. department of justice asked for the detention to be extended instead the case was adjourned for 5 hours a lawyer for 3 of the crew including the captain couldn't see any reason for the detention to continue we've taken advice from 2 q. sees in london specialists on sanctions and a criminal specialist for what we could tell them their advice was there was no breach of sanctions. as confusion spread from the courtroom grace one remained an anchor just as she has been since july the 4th 28 crew members on board 4 of them the captain and 3 offices were released on bail that passports were handed back ahead of the u.s.

approach to the calls. made to the court was in session again this time the judge threw out the approach from the u.s. department of justice and granted the attorney general's request for grace one to leave gibraltar's waters the government's chief minister says iran had given a cost on gallant. see the gray swarm would not deliberate 2100000 barrels like crude oil to syria he hails the actions of gibraltar as a triumph maybe one of the most successful sanctions busts in history not just in the context of the serious sanctions by the european union because we've deprive the assad regime of $140000000.00 at today's value of crude oil and what would you say if all of that oil did end up in syria after all well there's a commitment in writing to say that it won't and it won't look good on the islamic republic of iran that said something in writing and then does the opposite. and so what iran had described as piracy and you brought a long with the u.k.

calls a major breach of e.u. sanctions on syria appears to be ending now as grace one prepares to leave gibraltar's waters all eyes are on the u.s. now to see what if anything can do to stop this iranian voyage hundreds simmons al-jazeera gibraltar. south korea's national security council is urging north korea to stop testing ballistic projectile saying it could heighten military tension on the peninsula the council said north korea fired 2 unidentified projectiles this morning from tung chan county in gang one province it's the 6th such test in 3 weeks north korean leader kim jong un has previously said the tests are a warning to the u.s. and south korea over their joint military drills. emotions have been running high in the pacific islands as leaders debate climate change prime minister tang reportedly in tears in one meeting but the talks fell short of what many had hoped

for pacific island leaders met to draft an official statement on climate change targets but the talks nearly collapsed twice australia was accused of resisting calls for a stronger declaration negotiations lasted nearly 12 hours before an agreement was reached just a while ago 2 values prime minister and early supplying shared some insights into the discussions we were exchanging fleury language not swearing but. but of course you know expressing the the concerns of leaders and i was really happy with the exchange of it was frank prime minister morrison of course stated his positions. my positions of the leaders we need to save these people the prime minister of tom actually cried

in the retreat you know. the leader of drama actually shed tears in front of the leaders i understand the sensitivity to these issues particularly where we're standing and and and i showed respect towards that in my judgment it's not just about a strike is a comic. it's about. it's about how australia can continue to provide the support that we do across the pacific region when we have the biggest investor in the pacific's development and protection of any nation on the planet we invest 1.4 $1000000000.00 in the region every year that's the highest it's ever been under my government. joseph miner calio is the head of the pacific region at greenpeace he calls the form statement a monumental failure. it's very much extension existing to a lot of people will talk about climate change and it's kind of the far off thing that might happen whereas in the pacific it out daily reality now it means that

many of our communities are having to decide with that to be able to stay in their interest to homes or have to leave for ever and i don't know if you can really fully grasp that until you can really feel the dread of what it would be like to leave your homeland for ever the other thing is you know there are countries who are facing increased elimination of their souls which is you know rendering agriculture and all sorts of economic consequences for the region so i don't live in the pacific we are being hit by this crisis. and you know we really need everyone in the region particularly our larger partners australia to really be pushing ahead to do the right thing no way says it will withdraw about $33000000.00 worth of subsidies for helping protect the amas and this follows germany's decision to hold money promised for forests protection in brazil both countries say president jr both scenarios right wing government isn't committed to fighting the forestation paulson has criticized them saying they should focus on their own
