Shrug off the cloak of secrecy and awkwardness around death with palliative care nurse Pippa White. I’ve been wanting to bring a death convo to the airwaves for ages, because there’s a huge imbalance between light/dark, above/below, waxing/waning, growth/decay, possessing/relinquishing energies in our culture (and I'm the first person to perpetuate it). Shout out to everyone who sent frank and thoughtful questions for Pippa to answer – you’ll hear them towards the end of the ep.

Pippa White is a palliative care nurse and death care advocate and educator in the Anthroposophical tradition. We discuss:

🖤 What is Anthroposophic philosophy?

🖤 Death care rituals, balms and vigils

🖤 Windows into the reality of spirit from people in transition

🖤 Why to “do the work” at the eleventh hour

🖤 Soothing suffering without drugs

🖤 How painful is death?

🖤 Different ways to relate to pain

🖤 Small, slow solutions to dying (tiny local end of life retreats)

🖤 Pet euthanasia, yay or nay?

🖤 How to deal with loved ones in denial?

🖤 Can you make a living in end of life care?

🖤 How do you document/cherish a life?

🖤 What folks find difficult when dying?

🖤 Grieving to breathe and to love
