Stop Telling the Dying to Forgive

Forgiveness isn’t a deathbed obligation. Your peace doesn’t require erasing anyone's pain.

You’re Not a Burden: You’re a Person Who Is Dying

The Dying Are Not Morality Puppets

Death isn’t a redemption arc. You don’t have to become a saint to “earn” a good goodbye.

Closing the eyes is often the first act of care after death—quiet, sacred, human.
You don’t need permission. Just presence.

What Does "No Regrets" Really Mean?

Regret isn’t weakness—it’s proof you lived boldly, chose deeply, and risked being real.

Closing the mouth after death helps restore natural dignity to the face, and its easier than you may think. Using a scarf, ribbon, or cloth gently tied under the chin, this simple step supports the jaw and soft tissues as the body relaxes. #death #dying #labubu #labuburial #homecare #eol #endoflife

You Don’t Have to Leave a Legacy

Real legacy isn’t branding. It’s intimacy. It’s what those closest to you carry—not what the world applauds.

Performing Grace While Dying? Hard Pass.

Grace isn’t a costume you put on to make others feel better. A good death isn’t always pretty—and that’s okay.

You Don’t Need to Be ‘Brave’ or ‘Inspiring’ to Die Right

Stop performing for other people’s grief. You don’t owe anyone a “brave” death to make them comfortable.

No one else is coming to save you. That’s not hopeless—that’s power. Because the person most capable of rescuing you… is you.

One jaw unclenched. One deep breath. One honest conversation. This is how you start again—not with a grand gesture, but with small choices that open big doors.

Gratitude isn’t pretending you’re okay. It’s saying, “Pain didn’t make me cruel. It didn’t take my softness.” That’s the fiercest victory.

You’ll never be okay with every ending. That’s not the goal. The goal is learning to live beautifully, even with the ache.

Micro-joys keep us alive when grief feels bigger than the room.

The coffee, the birdsong, the warm light—these aren’t small things; they’re lifelines.

Fear is loud because it wants to keep you small. Flip the script: stop obsessing over what might go wrong—and start planning for what could go beautifully right.

Healing doesn’t happen just by moving forward. It happens when you stop long enough to feel. Don’t skip that step.

If being kind feels radical, it’s because we’ve normalized cruelty.

Basic decency is a revolution. Practice it.
