The goal of Exit Strategy for Dying is to help de-stigmatize the last taboo, the subject of death, by creating a comprehensive online information hub, with a companion guide book to follow. There are so many questions we all have, and more often than not, no one to ask.

We want to provide paths to explore the final act of our life’s journey by pointing toward knowledge and wisdom for both the head and the heart. We feel strongly that denial is not a good fallback in this case, and anyone who has experienced the loss of someone they love knows this to be true.

“No intelligent tourist would depart for a foreign land without a good guidebook giving instructions on basic preparations, necessary equipment, dangers and obstacles. No intelligent (person should) depart the known territory of this life without a good guidebook….” —Robert Thurman

What if we applied an attitude of curiosity toward our deaths? What if we weren’t afraid to die?

Our website is the beginning of an accessible resource for navigating both the mundane and the sacred aspects of the transition we call death. Over time our website will provide vital clinical information about medical directives, hospice, palliative care and much more that you want to know before you find yourself, or someone you love dying, or in the ER or ICU. Beyond the practical, EXIT STRATEGY will also engage with emotional and psychological aspects of life review and legacy, grief and bereavement, and existential questions of consciousness and soul.

Perhaps engaging in conversation about death can also provide an added component for us- awareness of the gift of a life lived more fully in the meantime.
