🌼 93 primaveras 🌼

Hoy celebro a la reina de nuestra familia.
Aunque la distancia nos separa, mi corazón te siente cerca, abuela. Te amo.

Hoy también supe de la muerte de la abuela de alguien… y no pude evitar detenerme y pensar que algún día esa llamada será para mí. En ese momento sostengo en mis manos el miedo y la gratitud. Solo puedo agradecer que todavía puedo llamar, escuchar, saber que mi abuela está ahí sana, fuerte, activa, independiente. Y solo queda pedirle a la vida que me regale otra oportunidad de verla, de abrazarla.

Ahí es donde pesa estar lejos. Ver cómo pasan los años, cómo se celebran momentos importantes sin uno… y entender que la distancia no solo separa lugares, también nos robaron tiempo que no vuelve.

Hoy te celebro Abuelita con todo lo que soy y desde donde estoy. 🤍

Today I celebrate the queen of our family, my abuela, who is turning 93 years young!

I’ve come together with a group of thoughtful, like-minded humans to create a small, community-based collective offering spaces to explore grief, loss, and end-of-life matters through conversation, reflection, and shared experience.

We’ve been hosting regular Death Cafés in our community, and we’re now expanding this work to create a space that explores grief beyond death—connecting through real stories, and reflecting together over three guided sessions.

Grief takes many forms. It lives in transitions, distance, illness, and the quiet losses we carry in our day-to-day lives. These experiences often go unrecognized, and even less often shared.

We’re pleased to offer this free 3-session series to explore, connect, and reflect together.

📍 ST. BERNARD CATHOLIC SCHOOL
12 Duckworth Street, Toronto

🗓️ 3 Fridays: May 29 · June 5 · June 12

🕕 6:00–7:30 PM

Limited spaces. Register through the link in my bio or DM me for more information.

4to Encuentro de la Red Latinoamericana de Acompañamiento en Muerte y Duelo en Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Un grupazo de seres - que fortuna haber compartido con ellos durante esos 4 dias. Todavía metabolizando la experiencia (lo aprendido, lo movido, lo sentido)

Gracias infinitas!

This month’s read has me thinking about how strange it is that we avoid talking about death… until we’re suddenly faced with it.

"Never Can Say Goodbye" by Darnell Lamont Walker highlights how across cultures we are taught to avoid talking about death, yet we still have to come face to face with it.

Through his work as a death doula, Darnell shares what it looks like to accompany people at the end of life, not in theory, but in real, human moments.

What stands out to me isn’t just the stories, it’s what they reveal:
🌷We already know how to do this. We just don’t talk about it.
🌷 We show up for the people we love when needed. We sit, we listen, we hold their hand and that is enough.

This book also calls out the silence around death, especially in communities where grief is carried but rarely spoken out loud.

Reading it feels less like learning something new… and more like remembering something we’ve always known, which is, that love is having someone hear, witness and hold our story at the end.

And maybe learning how to do this for others is part of how we make peace with our own endings.

Looking forward to meeting next month with .farewell.library and .darnell to discuss!

Contando las horas para estar en camino a Buenos Aires para ser parte del 4to Encuentro de la Red Latinoamericana de Muerte y Duelo.

Un espacio para cuestionar, desaprender y volver a mirar la muerte no como algo que evitar… sino como parte esencial de cómo vivimos.

Afortunada de conocer y compartir por 4 dias con otras personas que también eligieron no mirar hacia otro lado cuando se trata de la muerte, el duelo y el final de la vida.

Voy a aprender, conectar y seguir construyendo comunidad alrededor del final de la vida.

✨️✨️✨️

Counting down the hours until I’m on my way to Buenos Aires for the 4th event hosted by the Latinamerican Network of death and grief companioning.

A space to question, unlearn, and look at death and grief not as something to avoid… but as an essential part of our life, that must be embraced.

Looking forward to learning, connecting, and continue building community around end-of-life care and education.

HOY FUE DIA DE DEATH CAFE EN ESPAÑOL!
Hoy abrimos un espacio para hablar de algo que casi siempre evitamos... Y aun así, la sala se llenó.

Personas distintas, historias distintas, pero una Intensión en común: detenernos un momento a mirar la vida desde otro lugar.

Hablamos de la muerte… pero en realidad hablamos de lo que importa mientras estamos vivos. Hablamos experiencias, recuerdos. Hubo espacio para risas y lágrimas.

Gracias a cada persona que estuvo presente, por escuchar, compartir o simplemente permitirse estar en la conversación y reflexionar.

Gracias a Jenny por co-crear este espacio conmigo, y a las personas que siempre me sostienen en lo personal: mis amigas, mi familia... gracias por el apoyo siempre.

Esto recién empieza.

A new addition to my death and grief library 📚

A few months ago I got The Good Death by Suzanne O’Brien - and now I also added Spanish version!!

As I continue expanding the education and the resources I share through this space, it feels important to grow the Spanish-language collection as well. Conversations about death, caregiving, and preparation should be accessible across languages and communities.

There has been an incredible increase in the Spanish-speaking community here in Toronto and I want to show up in this space and be a source of information and education for them.

This book offers practical guidance for caregivers and thoughtful prompts for anyone reflecting on how they wish to approach the end of life. It's definitely a must-read!

As a Doulagivers graduate, I’m grateful for the work Suzanne O’Brien has been doing over the yeara to bring education, compassion, and clarity to end-of-life care.

Looking forward to adding more Spanish resources! Send your recommendations!

🇪🇦 Nueva adición a mi pequeña biblioteca de muerte y duelo 📚

Recientemente agregué La Buena Muerte escrito por Suzanne O’Brien a la biblioteca — y ahora lo conseguí en español! 🌟

A medida que sigo construyendo este espacio, para mí es muy importante también ampliar los recursos en español y abrir estas conversaciones dentro de la comunidad Latinoamericana.

Cada dia veo mas y mas personas que hablan español aqui en Toronto y me siento llamada a ser un apoyo y brindar información y educación alrededor de la muerte a mi comunidad latina.

Este libro ofrece orientación práctica para personas cuidando a alguien y también invita a reflexionar sobre cómo queremos vivir el final de la vida con más consciencia y preparación.

Mi certificación como Doula de Fin de Vida fue por medio de Doulagivers, asi que valoro y admiro profundamente el trabajo que Suzanne O’Brien has estado haciendo para llevar educación sobre el cuidado al final de la vida.

📚 mas libros en español por venir! Si tienen recomendaciones, los leo!

MIENTRAS ESTAMOS VIVOS: como la consciencia de nuestra mortalidad puede enseñarnos a vivir mejor.

La mayoría de nosotros evitamos hablar de la muerte… hasta que la vida nos obliga. Pero ¿qué pasaría si en lugar de ver la muerte como algo lejano y ajeno, la miráramos como una guía para vivir los dias con mayor claridad y coherencia?

Te invito a un espacio de conversación honesta y reflexión donde exploraremos nuestra relación con la muerte y cómo influye en las decisiones que tomamos.

Tendremos diálogo abierto para compartir curiosidades, dudas, experiencias y preguntas en un ambiente de respeto.

🗓 Domingo 22 de marzo
⏰ 11 AM – 1 PM
📍 10 Wilby Crescent (area: Weston & Lawrence Ave. West)

Si hablas español y sientes curiosidad —o incluso resistencia— hacia este tema, este espacio es para ti! Porque, hablar de la muerte, es hablar de la vida misma.

I've been trying to create a simple description of the focus of my role as Deathworker but see my death work as multi-layered, complex, and delicate.

It is not only about paperwork, plans, or logistics. It is not only about grief, either. It lives in the space between preparation and presence, between fear and clarity.

Some days it looks practical. Advance care planning. Conversations families avoid. Questions about values. Other days it is deeply emotional. Sitting with uncertainty. Naming what feels unspeakable. Holding silence without rushing to fix it.

Death work asks for steadiness. It asks for nuance. It asks for respect for the layers that exist in every person and every family system.

There is nothing simplistic about preparing for the end of life. It touches identity, culture, belief, regret, love, and legacy all at once. And yet, within that complexity, there is something profoundly human and gentle. I meet people where they are.

When we approach mortality with honesty, we often begin living with more intention. This is the space I choose to work in.
Carefully. Thoughtfully. Slowly. With depth.

The closer I walk with the dying, the more I understand:
death is not a single door.
It’s a series of thresholds the body crosses in its own time,
each one a soft release,
each one a quiet surrender,
each one a truth the soul already knows.

We are so conditioned to look for “the moment,”
as if dying is a switch that flips.
But it’s more like a tide —
a slow, sacred receding
that carries us from form into freedom.

For those who are witnessing,
for those who are walking someone home,
for those who are preparing for their own crossing:
may you remember that nothing about this is wrong.
It is ancient.
It is natural.
It is holy.

Starting 2026 strong, reading the book *Life Worth Living* and today I got to join the first discussion of the book offered through the Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath and Death, guided by Amy Wright Glenn.

This year feels like a threshold as I close my 30s and enter my fourth decade. And what better way to step into a new decade than by taking stock of my life, orienting myself, and clarifying my compass for what a good life actually is.

I'm examining:
💫how I spend my time, money, attention
💫 what are my hopes, fears, and sources of joy, peace, regret or disappointment

No, it's not about getting answers.
No, I am not trying to fix or optimize my way through it. I just want to slow down and ask better questions to discover meaning, values, and how I actually want to live.

So incredibly grateful for spaces that take life and death seriously.

Starting 2026 in conversation with big questions, steady curiosity, and good people -- this feels like the right place to begin.
