About this listen

One of the first public events after losing someone is usually a funeral or celebration of life ceremony. In this episode, we dive into this ritual - which feels like an impossible task of honoring loved ones while you’re still falling apart. We share stories about the planning process, grappling with the rollercoaster of emotions, and finding personal meaning inside traditional spaces. We explore the complexity of holding space to grieve, remember, and honor with community by accepting support and grace to feel all the feelings. A conversation for anyone overwhelmed by all the different ways to honor the loss of a loved one - and maybe not knowing where to start.
