Contemplative Dying- Kelsey Kappauf


Listen Later

Ep 51


You live differently when you come to terms with the fact that you are going to die.


In this podcast, we talk with Kelsey Kappauf, a Certified End of Life Coach and Death Doula, about the importance of befriending death, talking about death openly and honestly, and how doing so can change the way we live now. We are a grief-averse culture, and we generally don't know what to do with the idea of death. But talking about death can help us to live more consciously, at every stage of life.


We talk about:

  • How to reframe our view of death so that we can live more fully

  • Healthy ways to process and deal with grief and loss

  • How to support loved ones who have been diagnosed with terminal illness

  • How to cultivate compassion rather than pity for someone who is facing death

  • Kelsey also shares some practices that we can use to examine our relationships with death and live more consciously now including:

    • Thinking about our legacy

    • Examining our narratives about death 

    • What truly matters in life

    • Whether you are interested in learning how to live more consciously or find peace in the face of death or if you are looking for ways to support a loved one who is facing death, then this podcast is for you.
