Griefwalker background

Griefwalker

Death has the power to transform our lives by teaching us to cherish our own existence through the process of grieving, according to Stephen Jenkinson, a Harvard-trained theologian.

Harvard-trained theologian Stephen Jenkinson believes that death empowers us to live and that we must know grief well to appreciate our lives. He suggests that our deaths should be "befriended" rather than denied or avoided, pointing out that not all cultures fear death as we do. The film explores the lives of those confronting death and those learning how to help people die well, combining stunning imagery of nature's impermanence with the reality of dying.
