Showing results for "little deaths" in Religion & Spirituality

Little Death is a podcast about finding our shared humanity in facing our fear of death. In this podcast, we enter unseen realms of grief, loss and ancestors to unearth what it means to be human living through apocalyptic times. No topic is too taboo. No alley is too dark.

In this book, Douglas Harding, author of On Having No Head, takes a fresh look at death and points to that which is before and beyond death - our true self.

"Okay, Lord, you can have him. But if he must die, I want it to be for something big. I want someone’s life to be changed forever." This is what Laura Sobeich prayed when she found out her 17-year-old son had only one year to live. With this desperate prayer, she released her son to God’s will. At that point, Zach Sobiech was just another teenager battling cancer. When his mother told him to think about writing good-bye letters to family and friends, he decided instead to write songs. One of them, "Clouds", captured hearts and changed not one life but millions, making him an international sensation.
