What strategies do you utilize to cope with grief?

Death is a natural part of life and sometimes we must seek support to help us through the grief and healing process. “The prevalence of Death Midwives -- sometimes referred to as Death Doulas – has risen since the COVID pandemic… death midwives are invited in to help ease the passage of individuals at the end of life, working with loved ones and the existing medical team” Dé Bryant, PhD.

Check out our new blog post to learn more about death midwifery.
