Till Death Doula Parts

09/12/2023

During my death doula training, we were each asked to meditate on these contemplations developed by 11th century Buddhist scholar Atisha.

Ironically, I find that facing these 9 contemplations actually brings me more peace than it does fear.

I think I'll be adding them to my morning meditation!

Which contemplation resonates with you the most?

Which one do you struggle with the most?

Which one inspires you the most?

I'm SO excited to hold my first VIRTUAL Your Good Death workshop!

Sunday, October 8th at 11a PT on Zoom.

Get cozy with a beverage and treats of your choosing, and let's support one another in facing our fears and beliefs around death and dying, and empower one another to envision what a "good" death means to us as individuals.

We'll lift the veil, acknowledge the elephant in the room, and leave feeling inspired to live as fully and authentically as possible.

It's going to be delightful ❤️

Tickets can be purchased through the link in my bio.

***sliding scale available. DM me to hear more!

Lauren Richwine provides "community led death care" to educate people about alternatives to traditional funerals. The state says she needs a license.

I want to live deeply.

To experience every last inch of my life.

I want to live as liberated as possible.

Unapologetically, authentically, daringly me.

I don't want my life to be something I get through.

I want it to be something I experience fully.

Sitting with the uncomfortable, celebrating the joyful, staying curious during the mundane.

Always learning, always growing, always persevering.

I want that for you, too.

Whether intentional or not, we all leave a legacy behind.

You live on through loved ones, friends, colleagues, anyone who has come into contact with some piece of you.

Many death doulas specialize in working on legacy projects with their clients. This can be virtually ANYTHING, from a recipe book, to letters, to a full blown novel. It can be a water ballet! Yes, I've seen one, and it was magical.

What would you like your legacy to be? How do you hope to be remembered? And is there anything you would like to complete before you die?

I'd love to hear from you below in the comments! Feel free to DM me as well 😊

It's been a bit since I've popped on here to introduce myself.

First off, as I write this, I have over 900 lovely humans following my page. Welcome! I'm so incredibly honored to take up space on your IG feed 😊.

My name is Kelly Fabiano, and I'm the founder of Till Death Doula Parts.

I'm a death doula, amongst other things.

I believe the dying deserve to leave this world with as much agency as possible.

Supporting those at end-of-life is sacred, and I don't take that for granted. I feel beyond blessed to be able to bear witness and hold space for people during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives.

Some (fun?) facts about me:

1. I want to die alone.

2. I loathe being on the receiving end of the birthday song. People singing at me truly terrifies me.

3. Which is why musicals make me uncomfortable.

4. I drink more coffee than I should, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

5. I’m chronically anxious. The coffee probably doesn't help that.

6. I have fallen madly, deeply in love with every single one of my clients.

7. I’ve been doing this work for over two years, and just lost my first client. That's a much longer story, so I'll circle back on that some other time.

8. I worked in production finance for over a decade before finding my way here.

9. I often sleep with the Garfield Christmas special playing in the background.

10. When Fall arrives, I'm as basic as it gets. Give me all the pumpkin spice scented and flavored everything.

Ok, enough.

Nice to e-meet you, and I look forward to getting to know you! I'd love for you to drop some fun facts below, if you feel so inclined.

100% of my clients at this time are experiencing cognitive decline and memory loss, and/or have been formally diagnosed with some form of dementia. This letter, so beautifully written, is why I do what I do, and why supporting my clients is an absolute gift.

A client I serve is struggling with worsening dementia. She’s hired me to support her as she approaches the end of her life, and in our bi-monthly meetings, I hold space for her to share her life story. As her short-term memory and conversational skills continue to worsen, for the time being her w...
