New episode of Dying for a Cuppa OUT TODAY - Do We Choose the Moment We Die?
In this episode of Dying for a Cuppa, I explore one of those quietly profound questions that often comes up when sitting with the dying. Not sudden or tragic deaths, but the ones where you know it’s close — those vigil moments. The person holds on for days, then slips away the moment someone steps out of the room… or they seem to wait for a special call, a birthday, or that one person to arrive — and then they go.
Is it fate? Coincidence? Faith? Science? Energy? Maybe all of it. Maybe there’s a choice we don’t yet understand. Maybe it’s simply the body doing what it must. Or maybe it’s both.
Gentle content note: this episode talks about the moment of death and our presence and witness to it. You may have your own experiences so pease listen with care if you’re grieving or feeling tender around loss.
Have you ever witnessed what felt like “perfect timing” at the end of life? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
