About Talk Death Delaware

Talk Death Delaware is a compassionate podcast about death, grief, hospice care, and end-of-life decision-making in Delaware and beyond. Hosted by death doula and educator Linda Gould, the show features honest conversations with hospice professionals, advocates, caregivers, and everyday Delawareans about topics many avoid but all of us must face — including hospice care, advance planning, funeral traditions, medical aid-in-dying, natural organic reduction (human composting), caregiver support, and the emotional landscape of loss and grief. Whether you’re navigating your own grief journey, planning ahead for yourself or a loved one, or simply curious about the culture and practices around dying and remembrance, this podcast brings insight, stories, and compassion to the topic of death. Episodes include conversations with experts, “Word on the Street” reflections, and in-depth discussions with regular people to demystify death, honor life, and talk openly about what it means to say goodbye.

   In this heartfelt episode of Talk Death Delaware, I talk with award-winning bilingual children’s author Adriana Camacho-Church about how storytelling can help us navigate grief, loss, and emotional healing. Adriana shares the inspiration behind her book Grandma, Where Will Your Love Go?, a moving story that helps children understand death through the lens of love, nature, and connection.

Together, they dive into: How children process grief and loss Why books can be powerful tools for emotional expression The role of culture, spirituality, and nature in healing How love continues beyond death in ways we can still feel This episode offers comfort, insight, and a fresh perspective on one of life’s most difficult conversations—reminding us that love is never truly lost.
