12-15-23 DEATH NESTING, DEATH DOULA: Anne-Marie Keppel
Just as we might prepare a nest for one about to give birth, so can we lovingly prepare a nest for one who is dying. Seeking to demystify the dying process, Sue Frederick explains what the body physically undergoes during the end of life and shares techniques to physically care for the dying, including methods to assist bedridden individuals. Providing support for caregivers and loved ones as well, Anne-Marie explores self-care methods for moving with grief, ideas for “things to do” when there is nothing to do, and mindfulness practices for contemplating your own mortality. She also offers visualizations and techniques for talking with children about death and dying.
