About this listen

 Halva for the Heart is for both the collective in general, and for those of us living in diaspora specifically. Here we will explore topics of grief tending and death care as a way to build the liberated future we envision for our world, as well as what is means to be dying and grieving while living in diaspora, especially for those of us who have roots in the SWANA region. All are welcome here - befarmāid. Social Sciences Spirituality

    Healing with my Sister
    May 17 2025
    This episode is all about my sister and our relationship. How we've finally found reconciliation after so many years of guilt and resentment from how we each handled our mom's death. We sat down to record this episode while she was visiting me in Korea with the simple topic of "Let's talk about our grief". I didn't know what to expect because we had never really spoken about our grief together before, but recording this episode brought us so much closer to one another. If you have any strained relationships in your life, I hope this brings you some hope and healing 🌹 If you'd like to share with me how this episode made you feel, leave me a voice note here: https://www.speakpipe.com/HafezDeathCare Theme song: 'Lullaby' by Iranian oud player Negâr Boubân Learn more about my work at www.hafezdeathcare.com Follow me on Instagram @hafez.death.care
