In this episode, we spoke with two new friends we met at a recent death care conference in Seattle. They are both Death Doulas and some of their cohort will share their inspiration and work in a special premium video episode called “What is a Death Doula?” We hope you’ll subscribe to enjoy that and other premium content.
Phoenix and Myra share their personal experiences with death and how it has shaped their lives and careers. They discuss the importance of community, the challenges they face in their work, and the profound impact of early encounters with death.
The conversation highlights the role of death doulas in providing support and care during end-of-life transitions, emphasizing the need for compassion and understanding in navigating grief and loss. They explore the importance of community in creative work, the practices that sustain their energy, their perspectives on death and legacy, the role of storytelling in healing, and the need to normalize discussions around death and life cycles. They emphasize the interconnectedness of their experiences and the significance of sharing stories to foster understanding and support.
