Memento Mori on the dresser? ⤵️🩷

Memento Mori means “remember you will die”.

For many of us with the kind of privilege I live with, it’s easy to feel disconnected from the fact we are mortal.

I found this sweet little skeleton incense-holder here where I’m dog-sitting and I’m sorely tempted to smuggle it out wirh me😂

Do you have anything like this? Or do you have any practices that remind you of your mortality?

It’s a curiously enriching thing to do!

Imagine what you might reach for…

What you might let yourself say yes to…

What you’d finally say no to.

Imagine.

I regret to inform you that my algorithm is now 97% Heated Rivalry and 3% professional credibility.

I have tried. Truly.

I cannot figure out how to make gay hockey rivalries about what I do for a living (which is, as you know, death & dying).

So instead of hilarious on-trend and highly engaging content (which I never manage to make anyway), here’s what I can give you:

If you don’t think q***r representation matters in the deathcaring space, you’re probably not going to like the Doula Apprentice Education Program.

Death is part of life. Heteronormativity is part of life too. There’s no such thing as “neutral” care. “Neutral” has never been safe.

If you’ve ever been curious about what death doulas actually do (and what inclusive, competent end-of-life and after-death care looks like in practice ) I’m hosting a free webinar on this very topic.

Comment DOULADO and I’ll send you an invitation to register.

Excuse me now though…I have to get back to my extremely serious research. 🏒🏳️‍🌈💀

It’s not because I’m a monster…

It’s because in our grief illiterate and death-denying society, we rush to dry tears instead of allowing their cleansing power to course down our faces and drip off our chins.

I won’t offer you a tissue. But I’ll have one for you when you tell me you’re ready for it.
