David, this reflection resonated deeply with me—and not just because I’m a death doula 😉. The idea of letting go of what’s ‘ready to die’ as an act of faith in what’s waiting to emerge is so powerful. It’s such a beautiful reminder that endings aren’t just losses but necessary transitions for authentic growth. There’s also a whole lot of embracing fear here that shouldn’t go unnoticed—thank you for showing us what that courage looks like and for inviting us to reflect on our own transformations.
I appreciate how you posed the question of “What’s ready to die?” Not what needs to die? or what should die? but what’s READY. I think often times we get to the point of feeling like it’s time to turn the page but I have never thought of asking myself “What’s ready to die?”
That’s a great reflection, thanks Saint. Forcing the page to turn before it’s ready goes against the natural cycle just as much as failing to turn a page that’s long been asking to be turned.

I was hoping you’d find this post (=
Death requires acceptance, whether we take it or not.

Grateful to have witnessed your journey this year. I feel your groundedness.
