✨ June is arriving in bloom, & with it comes learning, connection, and meaningful work. As the days grow longer and the world around us flourishes in colour, we gather to explore life’s most profound journey, to care for, support, & walk beside one another through change, grief, dying, & healing.

June wraps up our virtual sessions (number 33). Each class builds upon the last, weaving practical skills with compassionate presence, creating a foundation that is successful, professional, & deeply human.

Mid month, I’m teaching in Whitby Ontario for an immersive five day experience. There is something so special about gathering in a shared space to learn, reflect, ask questions, and build community with others who are called to this work. This week is filled with powerful conversation, unexpected insight, laughter, tears, & lasting friendships.

As June rounds out, we welcome a brand new group to our Online Death Doula School. For many, this is the start of a journey they have felt called to for years. Whether youre looking to support loved ones, deepen your existing practice, or explore a path that has been quietly calling you, this course offers a welcoming place to begin.

Private group courses continue to be available throughout the year for organizations, wellness centres, healthcare teams, spiritual communities, & groups of friends who wish to learn together.

For those ready to move beyond certification and into building their practice, or for those who want to do both at once, my mentorship program offers guidance, accountability, & support. Together, we work on everything from developing your approach to building confidence, attracting clients, & creating a business that reflects who you are.

If you have been feeling the nudge, the whisper, or the persistent pull toward this work, June is your invitation.

I look forward to welcoming both new and returning students this month. đź’—

Blackbirds are not bad. In many traditions, they are viewed as messengers between worlds, carrying wisdom, warning, transformation, and ancestral connection.

When a black bird flaps its wings intensely near you, hovers, circles, or refuses to go unnoticed, it is sometimes interpreted as a spiritual call to pay attention. A shift may already be happening beneath the surface. Something unseen may be trying to make itself known.

Ravens, crows, grackles, and blackbirds are often associated with mystery, intelligence, survival, hidden truth, and the movement between endings and beginnings. Their wings stirring the air can symbolize energy moving, awakening, or messages trying to reach us.

In some teachings, black birds are considered watchers. They notice imbalance before humans do. Their presence can appear during times of grief, transition, emotional heaviness, spiritual growth, or major life change.

Not every sign arrives softly.
Sometimes spirit flaps its wings loud enough that you cannot ignore it. đź–¤

The breath of life is celebrated loudly.
The first inhale, that cry of arrival which marks our beginning.

But there is another sacred breath we rarely speak of.

The breath of death.

The final exhale is not violent in the way people imagine. Often, it is soft. Quiet. Almost reverent. A surrender of the body back to the earth, while something unseen loosens itself free.

In end of life care, you begin to understand that death has a rhythm. A breathing of its own. Long pauses. Shallow waves. Deep pulls between worlds. The body slowly releasing its grip on this life, one breath at a time.

There is something honourable about sitting beside a person during those final breaths.
Not because death is beautiful, but because truth is.

The breath of life brings us here.
The breath of death carries us home.

Postmortem movement is one of the lesser talked about, but completely natural parts of the dying process.

After death, the body does not instantly become entirely still in the way most people imagine. As muscles, tendons, and tissues begin going through natural biochemical changes, small movements can occasionally happen. Fingers may twitch slightly, the chest may release air causing sounds, the jaw may shift, or limbs can subtly move as muscles contract and relax during the early stages after death.

For many families, witnessing this unexpectedly can feel frightening or deeply emotional, especially if they were not prepared for it.

This is one of the reasons education around death matters so deeply. The more we understand what the body naturally does after death, the less fear there is surrounding the experience.

As a Death Doula I educate my clients about the body and that it can continue responding physically for hours after death in small ways. It is not a sign of pain or awareness, but simply the body completing its final biological processes.

Today I had the honour of being a panelist for the topic “It’s not just hormones”

This is a collaboration of all things Birth, Death, and Full Spectrum Doula.

This was an incredible opportunity and I had a wonderful time!

Thank you so much to for having me!

Wow!! Today we’ve reached 10,000 followers on Facebook!

Thank you!

10,000 souls connected through grief, love, healing, death, remembrance, and the sacred moments in between.

What began as simply wanting to help others while speaking openly about death, loss, and the human experience has grown into a beautiful community of people willing to talk about, learn, and hold space for our most difficult moment. Thank you for being here, for sharing your stories, your grief, your questions, your wisdom, and your hearts. For believing in me and my voice, my knowledge, and my experience.

In a world that often avoids conversations about death and mourning, this page has become proof that people are longing for honesty, compassion, and connection. Every message, every conversation, every shared experience matters deeply.

Thank you for supporting me in being a space where grief is not rushed, where dying is honoured, and where people are reminded they are never alone in what they carry.

10,000 followers feels far bigger than a number to me. It feels like a collective reminder that love continues, even through loss.

There have been many documented stories from families, hospice workers, nurses, veterinarians, and care homes describing animals behaving differently when a person is nearing death.

Some pets become unusually protective or clingy, refusing to leave the bed, pacing outside a room, crying, or sleeping directly against their person for hours or days.

In palliative care and hospice settings, this has become significant enough that many facilities now recognize the emotional and psychological value of animal visits, not only for comfort, but because animals often seem deeply attuned to changes in human condition.

There are also well known cases that sparked public attention. One of the most famous was Oscar, a therapy cat at a Rhode Island nursing home, who became known for curling up beside residents shortly before they died. Staff claimed his behaviour was so consistent that they began quietly notifying families when he settled beside someone for long periods.

Even from a clinical perspective, animals can provide grounding, regulate heart rate, reduce cortisol, and create a sense of safety during dying. For many people, the presence of a beloved pet removes the feeling of “clinical coldness” from the room and brings familiarity, memory, and unconditional connection into the final hours.

In South Korea, “living funerals” have become a powerful wellness practice where people attend their own simulated funeral to reflect on life, mortality, and what truly matters.

Participants write farewell letters, hear their own eulogy, and lie in coffins before symbolically “returning” to life with a new perspective. A rebirth.

Rooted in both mental health awareness and Buddhist ideas of impermanence, many leave saying the experience made them appreciate life, relationships, and time in a completely different way.

One of the most striking things many participants say afterward is that the coffin itself was not the hardest part. The hardest part was realizing how many things had been left unsaid while they were still alive.

Confronting death changes the way we choose to live.

Aase syndrome, sometimes called Aase Smith syndrome, is an extremely rare genetic disorder that primarily affects blood formation and skeletal development.

The most well known feature is a type of anaemia called hypoplastic anaemia, where the body does not produce enough red blood cells. This can lead to severe fatigue, pale skin, weakness, breathing difficulties, and poor oxygen circulation.

The exact cause is not always clear. Some cases are linked to inherited genetic mutations, while others appear spontaneously.

In severe untreated cases, especially in infancy, complications from profound anaemia or infections can become life threatening. However, with modern treatment, many individuals survive into adulthood.

When the illness causes death, comfort care focuses on easing suffering and maintaining dignity through pain and symptom management. Oxygen and positioning for breathlessness is one of the most important for this syndrome, gentle mouth care, emotional support, and calm bedside presence. Families are often supported through education about the dying process and how the body will shut down, grief care, and meaningful connection.

After being diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2000, Fran Drescher spent years talking openly about how easily women are dismissed, how confronting the possibility of death changed her, and how illness forced her to reevaluate what matters in life.

Fran talks about mortality as something that stripped life down to truth. She has described cancer as a wake up that pushed her toward purpose, advocacy, and authenticity. Instead of trying to distance herself from death, she became more vocal about it.

She founded Cancer Schmancer, an organisation focused on early detection, patient empowerment, and changing the way people approach disease and healthcare. A huge part of her messaging became centred on body awareness, self advocacy, and facing difficult realities directly instead of pretending they are not happening.

People in death positive spaces resonate with Fran because she brings humour into heavy subjects without making them shallow. That balance, holding grief, fear, illness, and mortality while still allowing room for laughter and humanity, is a core part of many modern end of life conversations.

One of the strongest death positive elements in Fran Drescher’s public voice is that she normalises the reality that thinking about and discussing death can actually deepen a person’s relationship with life, rather than diminish it. Something that resonates to the very core of what Death Doulas do and stand by.

There are certain times during the year when our loved ones come closer to us.

Making sure we recognize their love in its many forms.

The time between Beltane and Summer Solstice is one of those times.
