164 - How To Die | Arij Mikati
We don't know how or when death is coming with storyteller and writer, Arij Makati, wrote an incredible article on death called “How To Die”. It emcompasses how living across the street from a Hospice Care Hospital made her reflect on her own mortality as it relates to her life, culture and family. I asked her to recite her writings so we can hear it in her own words. Intensively reflective, riveting and passionate these words apply to us all in many ways.

Customer Reviews
Awesome
Love this show great guests, authentic chats and interesting topics - I am addicted to your podcast at the moment 🙌
Normal people talking about death...which should be normal.
This is the conversation humanity needs right now.
Sure, death is a discussion taking place on other podcasts, maybe even on a more esoteric/academic level or debating belief systems like religion vs atheists and even from the 1st person perspectives of someone dying.
But this podcast is about how we as normal humans experience death second hand through watching someone close to you dying, and how we process and deal with all the emotions and everything else that inevitably confronts during those moments.
And although we are all different and will approach this issue differently...there are more similarities in understanding our mortality than not...and it manifests itself in acceptance and love.
