vaincre la princesse~Defeat the Princess

Intrest in death has long been considered macabre. It is a natural part of the human experience yet, we are so far removed from the realities of death that we are terrified by it. I strive to remove the label of macabre and look at the realities of death and dying; physically, emotionally and sometimes spiritually. I am a Funeral Director and Embalmer who has great interest in green burial and natural decomposition. I hope that we can kill the macabre and treat death as the inevitable and sacred event that it is. Any photos of human remains, embalming, autopsy, the bereaved or, other death related depictions that I post are shared with the greatest of respect, dignity and honour for the purpose of understanding and empathy. I have no sponsors or receive no compensation for any business sites I share here. I share them for their information and/or interesting content.

you’re stronger than anything in this world. you’re a force to be reckoned with ✸

This.

I think this is so much the feeling many of us have, when we think about suicide, or even just “not wanting to be born”. It’s not death that attracts us -- certainly not us with thanatophobia -- it’s change. 

Death is an easy change. It’s really very easy to die. 

Once we realize this, we can begin to pursue change that will make our lives better, and I think it’s important to mention here. So much of what I’m doing now, is making changes to the way I think, the way I act, even my day to day. 

It’s not always exciting, adding meditation to my day to day was not exciting. Sometimes it is, though -- planning for trips, even years away, is exciting, and is more in line with the life I want to live. 

Some situations are much harder to get out of. Finances are a difficult thing, I come from a trailer park, and I got lucky as hell to even be in my current living situation. Not everyone gets that, and just making ends meet is hard. My mom still struggles even without two kids to care for. 

I’m not saying recognizing you have a struggle, is going to magically fix that particular struggle. 

Recognizing that you want change, doesn’t magically mean you can get a better job, or allow you to start taking risks to have a better life -- I know what it means to need money.

What I’m saying is, it allows you to look, and start to consider what steps could be safely taken, to improve your situation. That won’t mean those steps can be done today. You might have to wait three months, or a year, to do it. 

But those three months will come.

That year will come.

Life will come.

Death is always going to be here, waiting around. You’re going to get there eventually, we all are. 

Until then...why not look and see where you can start making changes? 

There used to be a day in my life, when a McD’s Happy Meal was “too much”. I could go get one now if I wanted to. Every day. I could eat McD’s every day for dinner if I wanted to. I don’t, but I’m just saying...there’s time, and time promises change.

You can begin anew every day.💕

This is one of those things that you read, and realize how strong death denial is.
