ABOUT GRIEFWALKER ~ <\/strong>Filmed over a twelve year period, Griefwalker shows Jenkinson in teaching sessions with doctors and nurses, in counselling sessions with dying people and their families, and in meditative and often frank exchanges with the film\u2019s director while paddling a birch bark canoe about the origins and consequences of his ideas for how we live and die. This extraordinary film portrait reveals some of the cultural and spiritual roots that continue to shape his death and dying ideas and teachings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dying: the great blindspot in a culture awash in information, the great arbiter in a culture adamant about extending the power of choice across all of our endeavours. Griefwalker is a feature length National Film Board of Canada documentary of Stephen Jenkinson\u2019s work with and on behalf of dying people, directed by Tim Wilson. It is also a profound mandate for creating sanity around the heart breaking and often toxic death fears and practices that gather at our dying time now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jenkinson asks,\u201dWhat does it take to fall in love with being alive?\u201d, and the answer that he offers, both unwelcome and vitally necessary, is, \u201cBeing willing to see the end of what you love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
