In Hello, Little Death I share personal examples of \u2018dying\u2019 from my own life, alongside examples from others. There are simple exercises for the reader to work through to reach an understanding of their own \u2018little deaths\u2019, how they are affected by them, and perspectives for creating a fuller and more peaceful life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Little deaths come in all sizes \u2013 from small and seemingly insignificant disturbances such as rain on your gardening day, or the loss of your favourite hat, to the end of a relationship or the death of a family member. They encompass any loss or challenge short of your \u2018big\u2019 death.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Little Death wants us to understand what I have discovered \u2013 that when we meet, feel and welcome the stuff we\u2019d rather ignore, or resist, or banish, the surface \u2018us\u2019 peels away, and the more real, content and alive \u2018us\u2019 shines through. I have felt more playful, joyful and at peace with every passing year, by putting this into practice.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div> <div class=\"accordion-title\">Reviews + purchase<span class=\"ac-indicator\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"pane\"><p>To read reviews and to purchase, please visit:<br\/><br\/><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.margaretmccallum.com\/shop\/\">Margaret McCallum shop<\/a><\/p><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"services-box col nomargin\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.margaretmccallum.com\/shop\/\"><div class=\"img-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.designseed.nz\/careofthesoul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/When-Death-Comes-Close.jpg\" alt=\"When Death Comes Close&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-transform:none;letter-spacing:0;font-style:italic&quot;&gt;Poems written and read by Margie McCallum.&lt;\/span&gt;\"\/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"services-content\"><div class=\"sc-wraper\"><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.margaretmccallum.com\/shop\/\">When Death Comes Close<br><span style=\"text-transform:none;letter-spacing:0;font-style:italic\">Poems written and read by Margie McCallum.<\/span><\/a><\/h3><p><p>Written from the poet\u2019s experience of death and dying, and conducting funerals, these poems reflect an underlying acceptance of death as part of the cycle of life, to be welcomed in its time rather than feared.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Available in:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>CD + booklet<\/li>\r\n  <li>MP3<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<br\/>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"accordion-container accordion-all-closed\"><div class=\"accordion-title\">Read more<span class=\"ac-indicator\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"pane\"><p>With a sense of the soulful and the sacred, they touch upon and honour death without exploiting the intense emotions that accompany it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Margaret\u2019s poetry is informed by assisting people in preparation for death and for funerals, their own or others\u2019, and in midwifing the dying.

Each is followed by her own exquisite poetry written from the most soulful reaches of her midwife\u2019s heart, and then reflections on her stories by colleagues and friends that sometimes moved me even more than the stories themselves.<br \/>\nIn the story of Phillip\u2019s death, Margaret talks of the \u2018cultural milieu we\u2019re in, and the medical milieu, that sees death as failure\u2019. Yet her stories lead us to an understanding of death as a grace-filled passage to be embraced and revered rather than feared.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"page-heading\">\u00a0 \u2014 Sue H, Celebrant<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<h2 class=\"page-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.margaretmccallum.com\/shop\/\">Hello, Little Death<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>This book is an engaging \u201cmust read\u201d.
