I’m on a similar path. I’m starting by volunteering at an old age home.
Even that is the path because these people all know they are slowly moving towards the inevitable.
They just have more time to process it if they are willing.
For me it isn’t just fear of death that is neglected in society but also giving people a safe experience to really be seen, expose all their life regrets and horrors. Be witnessed as the beautiful complex being they are. Often people never truly express these things to anyone and having a compassionate loving non judgemental person to get it off their chest to is a step towards self forgiveness and compassion.Fir the beautiful stories a chance to review and sort it out in their mind/heart.
To do that just being around the elderly or sick and letting them know you are a safe place is all you need opportunity wise. They will happily get it off their chest if you bring the energy and listen.
Glad there are more of us being called to this as shadow work hasn’t been largely undertaken so people take all sorts of stuff to their death experience. Lighten the load on their hearts and walking with them seems like something needed badly at this time.
I’m not sure where you are but there is a program called no one dies alone where volunteers sit with people in shifts who are on their death beds and do not have family. Obviously hospice volunteers are needed. Just make sure you are doing your constant healing on yourself so we don’t bring our own wounds to their time of need. Love to you.
There are lots of branches across the USA and some in Canada.
