Ask a Death Doula

Surviving Hurricane Milton


Listen Later

Can you find peace and purpose amidst the chaos of a hurricane?

Join me on an emotional journey through the devastation of Hurricane Helene in St. Petersburg, Florida, where the bond with my loyal dog, Maple, and the lessons from those at life's end became my guiding lights. As another storm threatened, the urgent mission to protect Maple highlighted the profound connections we hold with our pets, even in the face of nature's fury. Reflecting on these experiences, I share insights on embracing gratitude and discovering unexpected gifts that arise from dire circumstances.

Do end-of-life choices hold the key to combating climate change? I invite you to explore this question as I recount my transformative path to becoming a hospice nurse, driven by a deep sense of purpose. This episode uncovers the environmental impacts of traditional burial practices and presents sustainable alternatives like green burials and human composting, not only as eco-friendly solutions but as financially savvy choices. Introducing my new book, "The Good Death," I aim to empower you with knowledge on navigating end-of-life journeys with serenity and environmental consciousness, demonstrating the power of mindful presence and gratitude in both living and dying.
