Important discussions honoring the sacredness of life, death, and grieving. This podcast aims to spark curiosity and give peace of mind to those who are struggling with grief and end-of-life matters so they can live well, die well, and grieve well.
One of the most valuable tools for living well is doing a Grief/Loss inventory. Follow along with me as I review my own loss inventory and old wounds. Grab a sheet of paper and do your own loss inventory.
This is a part of the work I do with each of my clients. It is amazing to see how many things are repressed or forgotten throughout the years. Your mind has forgotten but your body does not forget.

13. My Death, My Way: Walking Through an End-of-Life Plan
I am a big proponent of talking about death and end of life before it happens, but I realize that is very vague. Listen in as I go through a real advance directive with you called 5 wishes. This is a beautiful example of the topics that can be discussed at end of life. There are many ways to make advance directives very inexpensively, this is one option you can find it at;

9. Shedding Skins: Grief and Identity
Our identity is often challenged and changed after a loss. The relationship moves from physical to memory and with that roles change. Even in the struggle, positive things can emerge over time.

8. Effffff The System
I was reminded of the less-than-ideal conditions in our eldercare system. And by "less-than-ideal" I mean completely disheartening. We have de-humanized them, and locked them away. I go on a rant here, but I think it's important to look at our neighbors, look at the vulnerable with new eyes.
Where did all the compassion go?

7. What is a death doula and why you need one
Going in depth things a death doula does, but not an inclusive list because doulas have a broad spectrum of things they do! As unique as each individual is and the creativity of each doula, each experience is wildly unique.
Id love to hear what surprised you about what doulas do or hear recommendations about what you think a doula ought to do!

6. How I survived Mother's Day!
Sometimes these hallmark holidays and anniversaries feel impossible to get through. I share how I got through it and how I am still caring for myself even afterwards.
I think I failed to mention that planning your own special activities on these days can be exceptionally helpful. For instance, I knew I wanted to hike and golf over Mother's Day weekend and that I did. I was glad to have made the plans and keep my body and mind active. But also allowing the time and space to feel and rest when needed. Making new memories and traditions rewires the experience.
You got this and you are going to grieve well, too.
