Local non-profit Final Passages continues its monthly series in September with the 2017 documentary film, Living While Dying.
A story of life. A story of death. Finding joy in the journey.
Death is a big mystery, and yet the outcome is 100 percent certain. How do you plan for the unknown?
Filmmaker Cathy Zheutlin tells the stories of four friends with terminal illness who chose to live out their final days at home with creativity humor and courage.
One might think that it would be depressing or morose. In fact, just the opposite – it is loving, hopeful and and full of joy.
Despite cultural norms that death is meant to be vanquished, Living While Dying transforms sorrow and fear into inspiration and beauty. It honors what BJ Miller says, that “dying is a human act, not just a medical one.”
“Death is a great educator about living. I learned that what matters most is how we live”- Cathy
