## Resource

Today, we’re joined by RamDev Dale Borglum, author of How to Live So You Can Die Without Fear and executive director of the Living/Dying Project. A pioneering voice in the conscious dying movement, Dale has spent decades helping people face death, grief, caregiving, and healing with greater awareness. His work has been shaped by Ram Dass, Stephen Levine, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, meditation, mathematics, and both Eastern and Western healing traditions. In our conversation, Dale reframes death not as something separate from life, but as one of life’s greatest teachers. He reminds us that the way we live shapes the way we die, and that remembering our mortality can bring us into deeper presence, compassion, and honesty. Rather than trying to control every moment, Dale invites us to surrender, open our hearts, and work with fear, grief, and uncertainty as part of the healing path. We also explore caregiving, grief, and the spiritual opportunity that can arise at the end of life. Dale’s message is both practical and profound: when we stop denying death, we begin to live with more kindness, more forgiveness, and more love. The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway Remembering that every one of us is mortal can inspire us to be kinder to each other, kinder to ourselves, and more willing to forgive. When we truly admit that life is temporary, we can take better care of one another, the planet, and the love already within us. -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.
