About this listen

In this deeply human episode of Death Demystified, Dr. Andrea Deerheart welcomes Becky Lomaka, grief educator and Director of Community and Grief Resources at O’Connor Mortuary. Together, they explore how modern deathcare can be infused with compassion, choice, and heart — helping families move through loss with dignity and grace. Becky shares how O’Connor’s unique approach blends education, ritual, and community care to honor both the dying and the living. They discuss the realities of what happens after a death, the sacred nature of ceremony, and the importance of preparing your wishes while you live.
An episode for anyone who longs to understand deathcare as love in action — where every goodbye becomes a blessing.
