What does it really mean to be with someone at the end of their life?

In this episode, we sit down with Rachel, a Clinical Licensed Social Worker and program director for a death doula collective, to talk about dying - practically, emotionally, and honestly.

We cover:

• what actually happens in the body as it begins to shut down

• the difference between dying at 90 and dying at 40

• why grief isn’t linear

• what to say (and what not to say) to someone who is grieving

• different kinds of loss we carry throughout a lifetime

• and what it really means to “let go”

We also touch on the Baba Ram Dass quote, “We’re all just walking each other home,” and what that looks like in real life.  As showing up. As being willing to stay.

This conversation is thoughtful, grounded, and unexpectedly comforting. Death isn’t mystical here. It’s human. And so is grief.

If you’ve ever wondered how to support someone through loss, or how to think about your own mortality with a little more steadiness, this episode is for you.

Presence is enough.
