# 🧘 Sit with a dying person and just be present

No agenda, no fixing, no stories. Just sit. It is the hardest simple thing you will ever do.

## How you would actually start

- Check whether the promise holds

“No agenda, no fixing, no stories. Just sit. It is the hardest simple thing you will ever do.” That is the pitch. Spend an hour on first-hand accounts rather than listicles — what it costs, how long it really takes, and what people wish they had known.

- Find the small version first

There is almost always a one-afternoon version. Do that before committing money or telling anyone.

- Put it somewhere you will see it

An intention you have not written down is a mood. A list you revisit is a decision you keep making.
