Images of Death

[quietdeath]

I saw this in a LJ board which I am in and had to share. It is an article about a portrait series done of those who are and have faced their own mortality. The gallery of images is linked to this page but will not open automatically. If you are interested, you might be surprised/relieved/terrified/consoled by the images. Leave a comment

Neat!
2 years working in a nursing home + 2 years working in a cadaver lab= learn to confront death. Its good to do that.. . can't run from it forever.

Quite true.

Thank you for posting this. The death photos were unexpectedly peaceful and beautiful.

It's a shame that our culture fears death so deeply that few of us know how to compassionately companion someone who is dying.
