Julie Wallace found strength in tragedy where most people would have struggled to continue getting out of bed each day. When you talk to Julie, you can’t help but feel a sense of immense grief and loss, yet at the same time, she exudes incredible courage and bravery, that inspirational doesn’t even begin to describe.

Ushering Death Trailer
When we think about death, we conjure a range of emotions, memories and feelings that are based on our own unique journey. For some of us we have yet to cross paths with death and our image of death is one that is based on what we have seen, read, or heard.
Most people have a relationship with death that is based on fear, loss, and the idea that someone we love, or even ourselves, cease to exist in the physical realm when death comes for us. Fear has a way of skewing what our realities are, especially when it comes to death.
Join me, a seasoned death practitioner, as I have conversations with real people, exploring the intricate relationship we each share with death, as we delve into our own unique grief experiences and journey.
