Our mortality – it’s a real thing. And it is ours to imagine… that’s the mystery of what happens after we die. Until we do it, we don’t know. And until that time, I’d like to live with as much joy and ease and love as possible. Talking about our mortality makes that more attainable, especially as we walk farther into our time in our bodies.
Curious about how this isn’t a depressing or dark topic to dig into? I’d love to show you how that’s a real thing.
Group Information Sessions:
If you have a group who you’d like to share this experience with or who you believe would be interested in & benefit from having a conversation about what end-of-life education and planning looks like or what a death doula does… I would love to be that person for you.
Community:
This could be family and friends, your book club or community circle. Do you meet regularly to play cards, pickleball, fantasy football; or gather with friends over a wine and great conversation? All of these are examples of your groups, your people, your community, where those involved may not have contemplated or created a Life (& End of Life) Care Plan, and where sharing thoughts about it with a group of trusted friends and neighbors is something that would increase comfort and ease.
Profesh:
If you work in the expansive world of health care and recognize the need for education with your clients and patients, and / or perhaps you have a team that would benefit from learning about additional resources that are available for them to lean on for additional patient support. Perhaps your Employee Operations Team or your Volunteer Coordinator would be interested in offering additional insights to their teams. These are places where I can provide information and offer insights about care planning, end-of-life education and death doula services.
Details:
The format is yours to determine and we will plan it together. Whether a PowerPoint presentation with Q&A speaks to your group or perhaps a short movie, TED talk or video would ease your group into the conversation, I have you covered. If contemplating mortality goes down easier with refreshments and games, no problem. My intention is to provide a brave space for you and your group to explore these topics with curiosity and honesty without the angst and expectations that is often present when death is mentioned in conversation.
We avoid thinking about death and dying, so talking about it is an even harder pass for most. I am in this work to ease some of that unease by sharing information and the work I do in support of living and dying, in a way that encourages curiosity, diminishes fear and normalizes conversations about our mortality within our communities.
