Ep. 11 Sacred Passages: Death Doulas Round Table, part 1
Join us for Part 1 of a profound exploration of grief, mortality, and the power of holding space for one another as we navigate the layers of loss and renewal. With Jainned, Phoenix, and Caitlin as our guides, we’ll uncover how grief connects us on a deeply human level, rethink societal norms around death, and embrace rituals, community, and meaningful conversations that foster healing and transformation.

Then, we invite you to share your reflections with the TFD community in the comments. Your experience adds to the collective conversation!
Journal Entry
Think about a moment when someone shared their grief or struggles with you. Did you feel the urge to offer advice or solutions? How might you have approached the situation differently by simply holding space and being present?
Write about how you can practice "companioning" in your relationships in the future, supporting others without assuming a position of authority or control.
Ritual
Design a simple, symbolic ritual to honor grief and transitions in your life. This could be lighting a candle, placing meaningful objects in a special space, writing a message to someone who has passed, or creating a small altar for reflection. Let the ritual serve as an intentional practice for processing grief instead of letting it remain unexpressed.
