  • Birth, Death and Everything in Between with Sister Doulas Sarah Longacre and Wendy Longacre-Brown

    In this second live recording of our We’re Not Fine, Dr Talia and Doug dive deep into the experience of letting others in to the most vulnerable moments in our lives with Birth Doula Sarah Longacre and End of Life Doula Wendy Longacre-Brown. What if we did birth and death differently? What if we invited in skilled and compassionate navigators to be by our sides in these unfamiliar lands so the unknown doesn’t paralyze us with fear? What if instead of “I’m sorry for your loss” we said “I hope they lived a kick ass life”? Wendy and Sarah share with us their incredible experience sitting by their mother’s side as she voluntarily chose to stop eating and drinking (VSED) to hasten her dying process after a brutal Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

    We invite you into this moving conversation about the circle of life, the heightened stress and magical beauty of bringing a new life into the world, of dying and sitting with the dying, of existential fear, of choices we have in hospice, loss, grief, death journals and death cafes.
