A bi-weekly podcast where we have genuine, in-depth, and sometimes very emotional conversation about death and dying. You will hear heartfelt stories and profound insights as we walk through the death and dying journey together. Through these talks I hope to get you to thinking about death and dying in a different light. Death is an honorable, intimate, and sacred event. The only fact about life is death. Why not talk about it?

Confused on Where or How to Start Your Planning, Listen Up!
Have you been following death doulas online and seeing us talk about end of life planning? Do you want to get started on your own but have no idea where to start? Do you even know what you want for your end of life? Why am I doing a second podcast about planning? Because if you fail to plan you plan to fail as the saying goes. However I will try to make this my last planning episode because there are so many things we can talk about. I really hope that this podcast ...

Excerpt from Ghost Belly by Elizabeth Heineman
As I continue to assist postpartum parents who are grieving the loss of their child or children, it made me thing of this book, Ghost Belly. While I have shared my account of losing my daughters, I find it helpful to hear from others as well so I decided to share a short excerpt from one of my favorite books(if you can have a favorite book about child loss). This book is Elizabeth Heineman’s personal account of a home birth that goes tragically wrong—ending in a stillbirth—and t...

Grief (A Short Meditation)
While I was on my self-care break I begin to notice the word grief swirling around a lot. I guess I had gotten so used to hearing it that it became part of my everyday language. On my self-care break all of the random chatter got a lot quieter in my head and the important things became louder. Everyone one is grieving something or someone. This meditation is dedicated to those who are grieving lost loved ones. I hope this helps someone. Support the show

Changing How We Talk About Death
One of the phrases I hear very often in the military is "Words Matter". I think we can all agree that they definitely do matter and they also have the power to change the perspective of a situation....and sometimes the outcome too. In this podcast we explore a few words or phrases used when talking about people who are dying from illnesses or dying in general. I also talk about how we can turn those phrases or word around and put a more positive spin on death and dying.&n...

Planning Ahead for Death
I like to to say the only fact about life is death. I do not know where I heard it but I have adopted it as my unofficial motto. Knowing that our time here on this planet as a human being is finite, it's very important that we move as such for the sake of the ones we will leave behind. Not only should we take full advantage of everyday that we have on this earth and attempt to live life to the fullest; we should also plan ahead so that when death comes our loved ones have ...

Dying a Good Death
In this podcast episode I talk about what a "good death" would look like for me. The ideas that I have and the things that I talk about are how I expect my family to proceed one my dying process begins. Have you ever thought about what you want your death to look like? If not what are you waiting for? Talking about death isn't going to kill. Have feedback? I'd love to hear from you.<a href= https://www.speakpipe.com/frombutterfliestoangels> Cl...

What is a Death Doula?
In this podcast you will learn about some of the services a death doula/ deathcare worker may offer. There are more services that can be provided but it’s almost impossible to name them all due to the intimacy and individuality of this work and this person. My hope is that I gave you enough information for you to understand the work that a death doula does and to understand why some of our service may be need. Honestly my ultimate goal is for families not to need us as...

Burying My Daughter Lyric
I discovered that there was so much more than meets the eye when in it came to the heart wrenching task of burying my daughter Lyric. I want people who have never had to bury anyone to get an understanding of how much actually goes into the funeral and burial of a loved one. I also wanted touch on it a bit and wanted to elaborate to give a deeper understanding on the events that drove me to become a death doula. Have feedback? I'd love to hear from you.<a href= https://www.spe...

How I became Death Doula Jenn
My somewhat emotional, who I am kidding, very emotional story about my journey to death doula-ing. I tried my best to hold back my tears as I share my stories of loss out loud and intentionally for the very first time. I have shared bits and pieces before, but this time, I laid it all out. I felt surprisingly good. Tears, snotty nose, and all. Have feedback? I'd love to hear from you.<a href= https://www.speakpipe.com/frombutterfliestoangels> Click here to...
