The subject of death is seen by many as morbid or taboo, but what if this dark topic could be life-giving, affirming, and empowering? Join me as I talk with Angela Franklin about the possibilities of end of life and death care, how communities and individuals can reimagine how they view their final days, how to plan for the end, and the importance of creating containers for grief.
Angela is a practicing Death Midwife and Home Funeral Guide. She currently provides workforce and community trainings on a variety of topics surrounding end of life support, grief literacy, advanced care planning, and suicide prevention/postvention. She is a founder of Journey Home, a community-driven organization based on practical death care, education, outreach, and community grieving support. Angela has lived in a variety of collective spaces and intentional communities. She is working toward death literacy and sovereignty to be brought back into our lives.
