In this episode of "Death And," mortician and funeral director Victor M. Sweeney sits down with Paige Pederson, a certified midwife from Grand Forks, North Dakota, to explore the fascinating overlap between death and the practice of midwifery. The conversation reveals how both professions, though on seemingly opposite ends of life, revolve around being present with families in moments of profound transition—birth and death. Paige opens up about the hands-on, relationship-based nature of her work, caring for women from conception through postpartum and valuing the trust that develops along the way. Victor shares parallels from funeral service, including the importance of simply sitting with families and allowing space for grief and healing.
