Birthed from the loss of a loved one and feeling a lack of honest, easy-to-digest, and accessible resources for people living with grief, “Talk Deathy to Me” aims to give listeners a place to be real and curious about grief, death, and dying that encourages people to not fear death, dying, and those harder conversations by bringing them to your ears with authenticity and even humor. Join Host Death Doula Sheila Burke with Co-Hosts Kelsey Jae and Kaylee Green every week as they break the stigmas associated with decidedly darker topics by bringing light to these moments.
Most of us remember our first big loss — the moment grief became personal and permanent. In this episode, Kaylee and Sheila reflect on first losses and how they shape the way we experience grief moving forward. They talk about how early encounters with death or loss quietly influence our expectations, coping, and understanding of mortality for the rest of our lives.

Episode 81 — The Surprisingly Petty, Random, and Completely Human Things People Worry About at the End
At the end of life, people don’t only wrestle with big existential questions. They worry about unfinished chores, awkward conversations, pets, plants, and small loose ends that still matter deeply. In this episode, Kaylee and Sheila explore the everyday concerns that show up near death, and why paying attention to these “small” worries can be one of the most meaningful ways to care for someone at the end of life.
