So beautiful.

Just as lullabies help us drift off to sleep when we are little, being held by song can provide comfort, familiarity and intimacy at all life stages – including our final days. Guided by this insight, Threshold Choir is an international charity that provides people with soothing, non-religious songs of peace as they transition from life into death. As one of the choir members puts it, their singing is ‘like a lullaby that holds you.’
Directed by the filmmaker Florence Brown, this short documentary profiles the Threshold Choir chapter in Devon, UK, capturing the group’s gentle kindness and warmth as they provide comfort to the dying. https://psyche.co/videos/what-you-learn-when-you-sing-to-the-dying-and-what-remains-a-mystery
