Had to laugh....I took a college class "On Death and Dying" one of the papers was to write our own Obit....kind of weird, yet at the same time a guide or wake up call to things we want/do in our lives. It was one of the best classes I've taken to open up my eyes and to process the loss of my entire family. When I die, I'll leave behind my son, he will have No One. This causes me such pain. He also has Aspergers, so despite feeling so uncomfortable about speaking to him about my death, I'm 68 and have 1 kidney which is failing...I've out lived my sister and brother, 35/56....gone Way Too Soon. Being honest and open has brought us much closer, he is 24.
so sad to read this, I hope you live many many more years. Love and light to you and your dear son
Check out The Conversation Project. All kinds of tips on how to talk about death and dying. Thanks for sharing your story. Even that takes courage. Thanks for watching
She sounds like such a great teacher, the type to make an big impact on her students' future through such small moments.
thank you. That is my goal. To focus on learning --NOT teaching. It is not about me
I like the way she describes embracing death. It is actually preparing for death and build a life that could be cherished during the last moments.
thanks for watching and commenting. yes it is about life.
Thanks TED! If you're reading this I'm praying something amazing happens for you today. 🙏🏻❤
How nice! Thanks
We can no longer deal with death when we are dead, that has to be done while we are alive!
you don't say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so very true. We will not have more time than we have right now. Never.
Great speech
thank you so much

I appreciate the various lenses you have us look through as we the audience listen -- the students, Theresa, views from your perspective as an instructor and as a speaker in the room. embrace life we see death through a different lense - love it!
Thanks Tammy for watching and your insights.
You are such a nice person Tammy. Thanks
This video is more of embracing life, Rather than embracing death! Came here with different mindset...but leaving with a different. The concept of eulogy virtue n working our life towards it is meaning ful.
Also the speaker has awesome memory at this age, she referred many names which I wouldnt be able to remember.
thank you for watching and commenting. I am grateful.

Thank you for watching
@@jannfreed I'm right with you. Life must be meaningful.
Thanks Melinda
It is very difficult to understand that once upon a time you will die and no one know where when an how this will be going. Exactly no one wants to die long and with torment.
We want to live a life that people will keep saying our name in good ways!
Congrats, terrific!
Thank you Jenny
I don't know I find when I embrace death I realize how pointless all of it was and if there is no immortality what was the purpose of everything down here? All the struggle, all the challenges, all the love, all the fun.
Life organizes, transforms, grows, realizes itself, through steady doom and steady deaths. Death is a very positive thing!
agree. it certainly puts life in perspective
WELCOME FOR THE GREAT CITY OF CHICLAYO PERU 🇵🇪 💪
People lose everything when they die.
But, Apostle Paul said , “ To die is gain”
To gain what? loss
Interesting. Yes.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Most people have trouble accepting that nothing happens when we die. Like sleep with no dreams. The world moves on as if we never existed.
At death we "no longer exist", or another way of putting it is that the brain no longer causes or does consciousness at death, and so this particular "Self" will no longer be caused by this particular brain. The brain will decompose and blend back in with the Earth and stuff. So death= the absolute end of the one that died. I think you agree with that.
But, as we all know, "Life goes on without you" - Animals & humans will still be alive and conscious after you no longer exist, right? Yes, they will be. So those consciousnesses will be the only experiences that are going on after you die. Therefore one of those consciousnesses are the only possible experience that could be what comes after your death. Because those consciousnesses/experiences will be the only experiences there are (at that point in time).
Yeah, we all know it deep down...
I don't know, just super sad, and yet it's the end that gives it any meaning, heh....
@@rafaelpadilla8986 😊
@@naturalisted1714 there’s life after death!!!!!
This can’t be it.
A lot of people died and more and more will die. Most of them unnoticed. Some of them will continue to live forever through what they did.
I think everyone of us should be very concerned about that moment, we take our last breath!!!
Is it really the end? Or another beginning!!!
Should we worry about what comes next or it’s a complete silence and end of existence!!!!
The process of death itself is not easy!!!
I have seen so many people die!!!
“I am a doctor”
Some go fast easy and peaceful
Others struggle, fight resist and finally leave after leaving those who are watching tortured with their struggle
Looking for answer.
I always avoid the last moment
It’s a personal thing!!!!
I knew my patients before they die.... minutes after death, they don’t look the same any more.
I asked a hospice nurse one day, how she sees people die?
She agreed with my conclusion:
People die the way the lived their lives
In other words how they were towards other people
When I come to pronounce a death, I always wish I would know what’s really going in that room.
It’s Always a very moving moment
No matter how many times I witness it!!!!
I wouldn't be so sure. There's no way to fully rule out the existence of afterlife. From a rational point of view, It's still a grey area about which we can only speculate.

This was powerful ✨
thank you!
i stoped giving a living s*** about death.... i realized one day.... god will take me away when he decides!! no matter if i live in a golden cage! untouchable! i eat fear!!!!!!
that thumbnail though
E D
embracing death
Event 201 you said
We don't die.
Could we expand this to those who'd embrace death whenever they want to ?
Good talk, very important subject. But I have to correct something - millennials are turning 40, we are not 21 years old anymore!
Good point. Time goes too fast!
Nobody knows what waits for the dead
Some believe in things they heard
Others in things they read
But I tell you, nobody knows what waits for the dead...
Some believe when you're dead, you're dead and gone
Some believe your soul lives on and on...
Doesn't matter what you heard
Doesn't matter what you read
I tell you, nobody knows what waits for the dead...
You never really die
Interesting. Thanks
I hit the 1k view
Hippies embraced death, since we believed that it's another stage of life. We didn't know much about dealing with it, but we didn't fear it.
But, of course, we aren't major players in the economy, so it's easy to overlook us.
What?
Eastern philosophies are better at explaining death , it's fairness , it's acceptance , it's necessity .
Oblivion is a quiet place. I do not fear it. Little have I seen that has impressed me here. What has impressed me has nothing to do with intellectuals. If we are lucky we will only be knocked back to the stone age and there we shall resume the nature of our species without all the preoccupation of glit and glam and romance. It will not be a pretty place. Its a shame and a wasting opportunity we now have.
You’re assuming death = oblivion
Oblivion, a place? That's quite supernatural.
Oblivion is amazing, though I personally like skyrim more.
I can't tell if this is a TED or a NY Times advertisement.
I do love the NY Times. Sorry
@@jannfreed I'll never forgive you.
it is just your impression ,isn’t it?
Wtf was this actually about?? Im trying to find the point through the random rambling. If your going to give a lecture dont just go off in 12 directions, please by god make a point!
I like the comments more than the video lol
Just dont risk to die without Jesus in your heart. Please dont. I beg you.
Rev 14:13
Then I heard [the distinct words of] a voice from heaven, saying, “Write, ‘Blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’” “Yes, [blessed indeed],” says the Spirit, “so that they may rest and have relief from their labors, for their deeds do follow them.”
ppl need to realize 🙄
The thing I am most excited about in this world is my death.
This world is a testing grounds for humanity and the Jinns; Earth is not our home. This universe is not our native abode. Allah (S.W.T.) has made for us our REAL home, Jannah. It is a world without sufficient and one that knows no pain. Life there is eternal. Jannah is a world with infinite source of energy, and mind boggling technologies. Limitless food and luxuries awaits for us in Jannah. It is a place with ever lasting friendship, true love, and romantic intimacy purified.
Alhamdullillah thumma Alhamdullillah!
To learn more, look up “The Purpose of Life” by Jeffery Lang on TH-cam.
I certainly will not look up your religion. This talk, and death itself, is not a matter of religion. It goes deeper. Religions are for our lives here on Earth; once we enter the next realm, there will be Truth.
Dude shut up. Nobody ask your belief. Keep it yourself. İf you're searching for meaning of life then religion is the last destination for that.
@@gixellia8455 I simply offered a lecture by Jeffery Lang, an American math professor at University of Kansas. This lecture would only have benefited you. But if you chose not to look, that is your choice.
But know that the intelligent response would be one that is expressed after having looked up the relevant information.
@@mehemmedagayev7815 I offered a lecture by Jeffery Lang, an American math professor at University of Kansas. Watching it would have made you understand your purpose in life.
It you don’t care, ignore it and move on. But to go out of your way to write an angry comment displays a lapse in character.
You should look into Christianity friend
If u wanna start a death cult hit me up I’ll join
I wasted 13 minutes listening to this and still have no clue what message your trying to portrey! Seriously...what are you actually talking about?
Same. Im dealing with death a lot and I hoped this video to help me. I watch it and was like... Was there even a one advice there? :/
Why you too are dying?
born waiting to die.. set us up for something worth dying for in the next.. cause this sht aint it
First
OK
No
@@AsimSiddiqui007 yes yeah
What is this twattery?
@@geoffsecombe ok not problem very nice homie ok
This will just end up like the old movie "Logan's Run" where the young determine your life expectancy as a weight on society... pfff
I have no idea what her focus is here. This is absolutely TERRIBLE!
“Im a woman … talking .. and moving my hands ….” - every Ted talk in the last 6 years
I actually thought I moved my hands too much too! Thanks
