SPECIAL | Death doulas and the death positive movement

The Excerpt

If you’re the type of person who might enjoy five daily reminders about the certainty of death sent to your phone, you might like to know there’s an app for that. It may sound ghoulish, but the goal is to find happiness by living truthfully with the inevitability of dying. Death is, after all, our shared and unavoidable final chapter in life. Organizations like The Conversation Project encourage meaningful conversations with loved ones and caregivers about personal wishes regarding end-of-life care. What is the path to acceptance and easing into the reality of dying and death? Best-selling author Alua Arthur, a death doula, attorney, and founder of Going with Grace, joins The Excerpt to discuss the death positive movement.
