5:09 pm
a lot of pieces of the puzzle that will come together you know with the right skills at the right time and economically one of the big problems for him will be the level of corruption in the country and the way in which the economy is built around the former cronies of the former president and all of that still in place in addition it's an additional military council set things up in a way that it seems there's a certain degree of immunity going forward at least for those who participated in the t.m.c. and who are name to those ministries in position to position of power so even though we are supposed to have investigations going forward it's unclear how much power the prime minister will have in order to rein in the you know the excesses of the former regime. and editions capital jakarta could be moving from java to borneo after president joe cole we do know asked parliament to accept a plan to create a new seat of government the idea of creating a new capital has been debated for decades with sea levels rising jakarta is

5:22 pm
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. there are so many options. we provide. for those old troops just use that we don't want to wear it's funny you know people ask why are you taking off work and you know going with my friend to pick out for burial plot. he wanted the memorial service like.
5:23 pm
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 francesca arnold she's 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 death over dinner an organization aimed at changing the way we talk about death and in heart michigan sarah cruz she's president of the national home funeral alliance and founder 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
5:24 pm
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 guess with that in mind i would agree i would agree with b 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 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
5:25 pm
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 on me soon and the lack of conversation about death affected 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 and
5:26 pm
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 lasted there are 20 i was the 120 but it still wasn't 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 like for that. 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
5:27 pm
i was 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 it 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 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
5:28 pm
think those 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 all or know how to honor someone. we grieve longer and we grieve longer. it's also leads to an incredible number so there's
5:29 pm
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 bokes 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
5:30 pm
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's going to have to experience it at one point or another so the conversation about death wellness that's 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 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 you know variances make
5:31 pm
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 like that so 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 or dead 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
5:32 pm
care have completely gone away from this generational wisdom that has been passed down for millennia. and i think it's finding. a counterpoint in the food industry we industrialized and our food is not as tricia's. as a result we turned. into a medical or stacked medical or it's actually a community. it's what sara was discussing there's a replay means it is possible to assist but actually requires litters so to make decisions about anything we need literacy and i think that's the work that oh. analysts are doing in our moment which is raising the literacy around. reducing that. but if you want if we have time just to talk about the door and that actually . i of course we have time for that and i think that it's part of what this
5:33 pm
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 turned to something that is not such an input that a 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 about 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 quote process of the. burning ourselves has turned
5:34 pm
into immensely resource intensive the way that we do it in this country we're burying.
