About today’s guest, Anna Zeisel: Anna is a local INELDA trained Death Doula and Yoga Instructor working towards her Mdiv to become an interfaith chaplain.

How do you navigate grieving the death of a friend without stepping on anyone’s toes? That’s what Anna and I discuss in this very first episode of Friends Missing Friends, including:

· The experience of losing a friend while in college

· How to integrate the death of a friend into the story of our life

· How we have the desire to know what we meant to the friend who passed, in order for us to know how to grieve

· How our grief seeped into our dreams

· How hard it is to avoid the urge to fix people’s grief

· Death Doula work
