| Auntie Brenda and Grandma at her Dad's funeral |
1. What dying feels like - quite science-y and oddly comforting
“It’s like a storm coming in,” Hallenbeck says. “The waves started coming up. But you can never say, well, when did the waves start coming up? … The waves get higher and higher, and eventually, they carry the person out to sea.”
2. A mushroom suit instead of a coffin? The infinity burial project uses mushrooms to decompose bodies. (Here is a longer video of the original TED talk explaining the infinity burial project)
3. This essay by the late Paul Kalanithi (author of the New York Times bestseller 'When Breath Becomes Air') on time and meaning.
4. While I was watching some old videos of the time when my grandma and late grandad were in Singapore, I heard my grandad speak (he was not in the camera shot, but his voice could still be heard) and felt so strange - I hadn't remembered his voice, and there it was, reaching out over death.
