When my time is up
Anna Wimberley writes about approaching death and the benefits of a ‘felt cocoon’
None of us is going to escape death. Last year the Bamford Quaker Community, which is situated in the Hope Valley in Derbyshire, ran a workshop entitled: ‘When my time is up.’ The aim of the workshop was to help people talk about the end of their lives and how they might want to die. Part of the workshop was teasing out the things that mattered most, things people wanted to do before they died.
