Stanley Didn’t Have to Die-The Work of Byron Katie®

An audience member is angry at a loved one who died. She believes that “Stanley didn’t have to die.” Sensing him sitting at the breakfast table with her, she wrestles with feelings of blame such as “He shouldn’t be okay that he died,” “He should be trying to fix this,” and “He should come back in his current, enlightened state.”
Byron Katie takes her through a Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet. Together they discover some illuminating turnarounds that help her find peace in the passing of her loved one.
“It doesn’t matter what’s in our head,” Katie says. “Is everything welcome there? Is your mind at home with itself? Because if you're not comfortable with it, it could use a little Work.”

In any other therapeutic scenario, laughing at these painful thoughts might further traumatise someone. I love how 'the Work' turns monsters into shadows.

Some of the most beautiful inquiry--on those who have died--or even imagining people dying. Thank you for sharing here.

[@WillDanceAlone2U]

Katie is a keen and loving investigator in search of the truth that sets the person at the other chair free from the gridlocks of unquestioned "belief-frames". Watching her inquire the guest is to see love at work. It takes no sides, it's clear-cut, thorough, genuine, wise, free, fiercely and intense, yet gentle and kind.

thanks a lot

[@profplum5]

someone please fix that mic

[@madamebowen3682]

Oh how I dislike the word "should", it's just so demanding and I'm just so rebellious. Mind you the words "I could" now makes me {{{giggle}}}, especially after David Walliams said it in his sketches as Carol Beer. No matter, either way "should" or "could". Just the thought of visiting someone after I've passed from this mortal coil, then some perhaps getting all demanding on my appearance, well it would make scruffy me {{{giggle}}} at their consistency. Bless 'em and their perceptions.

why does anyone have to die.. life is so very short enjoy every second

[@Catherine-xf3pc]

ann reilly Why not? We are greedy. We think we have a right to be here. We don't enjoy what has already been. Trust me, when you are trapped in a horrifically sick body you will look forward to your next big adventure. Frankly, I am looking forward to it. I look forward to being reunited with my beloved Ando. Birth was a hell of an adventure. Why not death? When one door closes another one opens.
