As a Birth Doula, so much of what I see in the world makes me think of how it relates to birth and its significance in our lives. Supporting my Mom through her cancer diagnosis all the way through to her death was no different. Birth and Death are similar on so many levels. There are parallels in it all. My whole perspective changed on death when I realized this and also when I saw what a peaceful, empowered, educated, fully supported death could look like. Birth & death are two of the most transformative experiences we will have in this life. To be able to have the honor to guide others through these sacred transitions is one of the greatest honors of my life.
In this episode, I share a little on my experience with both birth & death and how it is influencing the way I will do my work from now on. Honestly, this episode is fire! It's my favorite that I've recorded so far.
The day this episode is released is also my Mom's 60th birthday. This will be our first birthday without her here on Earth. So many mixed feelings. Gratitude for the time we shared and grief for the loss of so many current and future life moments. In her honor, we have decided to set up a donation link to The Salgi Esophagael Cancer Research Foundation. They are doing such important work in the world. If you feel called to and are able to, we would appreciate your support so much. To learn more about esophagael cancer awareness and research, I encourage you to go to their website. Awareness and early detection can save lives. Happy Birthday, Mom. You are so very loved and will always be missed.
