Rest in peace beautiful girl.
I hope you found some amazing experiences while you were here. I'm sorry you had such a short time here but it sounds like you were loved so much by the people around you.

I wish the world was kinder.
You deserved a lot longer here

Juniper Blessing was killed at off-campus student apartments on Sunday. The UW student's family says the loss "not only devastates us but diminishes the world."

When a loved one is dying, being told "we're not giving fluids" can feel shocking — even cruel. But it's actually an act of deep care. 💙

At end of life, the body is naturally shutting down. The kidneys can't process fluid. The lungs can fill up. The gut has stopped working. Adding IV fluids doesn't bring comfort — it can cause breathlessness, swelling, and distress.

What we do instead: gentle mouth care, moisturized lips, and being present.
Withholding fluids is not withholding love.
Save this to share with a family who needs to hear it. 🤍

ASP’s unique curriculum is offered by a crew of educators and caretakers committed to working toward death care justice and community care.

Facilitators, guest teachers, and students learn in community with a shared intention to create a learning space which is well resourced, full of dialogue, and curated for relationship building, understanding, and engagement.

Death care training is education for any person and equips us to grow skills for supporting a person or a group during end-of-life and death.

This course does NOT have a business class proponent. Our educational care model is rooted in anti-capitalist, community based care.

Update
First Happy Mother's Day to everyone 🩷 Thank you to all the mamas and parents who help raise us and love us.

Second
I do have some leads on a new venue, I have been extremely ill for the last almost 3 weeks so I have not been able to get around to them yet. This month and June we will be taking a break from Death Cafe meetings, but we will pick them back up in July 🩷💀🩷 I just need a break from everything and to get my body back into existing without illness and the bad pain I've been having.

Thank you to everyone who supports us and follows this page, your love means so much to us.

As we enter into spring, I’ve decided to open up a limited number of intimate 1:1 Dear Death Doula sessions with me. 💜

These sessions will offer a space where we can explore life through the lens of mortality, tend to fear and longing, build upon purpose, make room for presence and grace, and gently embrace the unknown at life’s many thresholds.

Think of me as a deathy bestie—someone who has spent over a decade dancing with life’s most tender, messy, and dense terrain. This is a space where we can meet the full expression of our humanness and be in this big, juicy work together. Not to fix or prescribe, but to witness, reflect, and support what’s already rooted within you. ✨

If you sense you’re at a threshold in your own life, want to sink deeper into your practice, or just want to chat all things life and death, consider this an invitation to meet this fertile soil consciously with care.

The seasons are always changing. We are, too. Answer the invitation when it feels aligned. You never know what may bloom. 🌻
