When someone dies it is as if footsteps were stilled, a door were closed, a tree were felled and what if it were a new voyage.

In our Western society where death is tabou and very often hidden, 80% of the people who die are alone in their last moments. Is this what we want for our family and close friends who will also die one day? Pardoxically, preparing for death, being conscience of these last moments of life, is to embrace the essentialness of our lives and to give a sense to our daily life.
We need to become familiar with the idea of our own death, allow it to mature and become part of us. Becoming familiar with the idea of death reinforces the wish to live fully, and the joy of living each moment of time.
To be accompanied in ones questioning and to own ones parting is an important process.
This is why, in the spirit of humanism and generosity, we have created the Association 'Le Passage'.
... we will be present for you at the end .... We will be there for you in your last moments, we will listen to you, we care ; there are many things that cannot be said to your dear ones that can be shared with us, we will be there for you as you experience these moments of your parting.
... we will listen... Should they so wish, we will give support to your dear ones who grieve your parting. We can be there to hear their grief and give them some philosophical confort. Each mourning process is individual and different. Every bereaved person will go through stages of bereavement - of shock, anger, depression through to acceptation and reconstruction but not necessarily in that order. Some may stay blocked in one of the stages depending on their experiences, their culture and their emotions.
If you wish, and independent of all religious traditions or beliefs, we can offer a philosophical reflexion about death and dying.
Why this association ?
Le Passage makes a point of respecting the specialness of each person.
We are actually present in 3 departments : The Gironde, Dordogne and Lot et Garonne
