Our own fears about death rob us of the joy of life. You can be your own worst enemy when you don't confront those fears - living fully comes with being able to accept one's own inevitable fate and leaning in. ❤️ Art by Tiina Menzel #death #deathdoula #fate #fear #endoflife #endoflifedoula

Sometimes when a death doula gets called in - it can certainly feel like we are a harbinger of doom. It can feel like we are "evil" or bringing death with us, especially to families or loved ones who arent ready for the next stage. But we are nice about it. ❤️ Art: Chickadee comics #death #grief

All joking aside, don't forget about your 4 legged little ones during your end of life planning - depending on your location, they may be considered property which can complicate their safety and ultimate fate. #pets #endoflife #eoldoula #eol #deathdoula #estateplanning #estatetrust #trustplanning

While you may not consider it grief - the communal pain and anguish over the loss of the TikTok community IS grief. Just like how people are often moved to action after death impacts their life - we can also take action. Unlike the final door of death, this isn't over. ❤️ #tiktok #grief #community

Death will come. It comes whether we are afraid or not. What do you gain from the fear? Nothing. So let's work on moving you past it. Do it scared. ❤️ #withoutfear #withoutfeardoula #endoflifedoula #endoflife #endoflifedoulas #death #deathdoula #deathcare

#Death. It’s a word that evokes a myriad of emotions—#fear, #sadness, #anxiety, #curiosity. In many cultures, death is a #taboo subject, shrouded in #mystery and often avoided in conversation. Yet, it is the one certainty we all share.

#Grief is a multifaceted journey filled with a range of emotions that often catch us by surprise. If you’ve felt relieved after a loved one’s #death, know that you’re not alone and that your feelings are valid. My first thought when my mom died was "It's finally over." #guilt #love #shame #caregiver

To love greatly is to lose greatly - and nothing else is quite like the exquisite pain of losing a beloved #pet. In a world of continuing isolation from our fellow humans - the #love of an animal is a special part of so many lives, and worthy of a place at the #grief conversation table. #petloss

Make sure you know the process and understand the documents you need in place to take care of your pets - else they're gonna be piercing the veil into the afterlife wondering where their snackies are.
