Women are always at the start of life, and we are there at the end of life too. We are there as caregivers, mothers, sisters, aunts, wives, daughters, and grandmothers. Women are uniquely connected to the circle of life. Today’s world avoids and is unfamiliar with the natural state of dying and death the way generations before us were not. We, as people, have established systems over time that sometimes allow us to avoid knowing, learning, and engaging with death as our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers may once have done.
In New Zealand right now, there are over 25,000 charities supporting the living, the environment, animal welfare and to better the life we lead. But amongst those thousands there is only one movement caring for our dying, and that is hospice.
North Haven is asking for 100 women to join a unique group – 500 for 5. We are asking 100 women to pledge $500 a year for the next 5 years. That’s only $10 a week to keep the dying in charge of their living and North Haven’s services available for everyone in our community.
