In this powerful episode of the Life With Grief podcast, I’m sitting down with Emmy-nominated children’s television writer and death doula, Darnell Lamont Walker, for a deeply moving conversation about death, grief, and what it means to truly live.
Darnell shares how his grandmother’s gentle, intuitive caregiving led him to his purpose as a death doula, guiding others through the end-of-life process with dignity and compassion.
Together, we explore how we can process grief through storytelling, embrace legacy, and create more meaningful lives—even in the face of loss.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of:
- What it means to live fully while grieving
- How community and connection support healing
- The importance of empathy, deep listening, and holding space for others
- Grief rituals and reflections from the death doula perspective
Whether you're grieving a loved one or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers profound wisdom, emotional validation, and hope.
