An Epitaph is words about a deceased person. Epitaphing is a mourner's action to be a living Epitaph that keeps the essence of the deceased alive and active.  Epitaphing is an act of love and life.

Grieving can be the feeling of sadness for what has been lost, or grieving can be actions that bring living memory of what has been lost. Epitaphing provides mourners with a way of expressing their grieving through actions, which leads them to relate to both the grieving process and to the deceased differently than expressing their sorrow only through feelings.

 Epitaphing may be done while the person is still alive as the host of this session has done, which is a very special process leading to very special results as described in this session.

 “Epitaphing” is a living activity and is different than an “Epitaph” which is unchanging. Epitaphing and an Epitaph relate to grieving much differently.

 Epitaphing is a five-step process of connecting with what has been/will be lost, describing its essence, and keeping a portion of the essence alive through actions of living that express the essence of what has been lost.
