Also I'd like to mention an another interesting project - Death Over Dinner (https://deathoverdinner.org/) it is an initiative launched in 2013 to spark conversations about death and end-of-life wishes over shared meals.
With over 100,000 dinners worldwide, it offers tools, prompts, a resource library (reads, watches, listens), and editions like Australian and Jewish.
Part of RoundGlass, it aims to normalize death talks, reducing suffering through communication.

The subject of death should no longer be taboo, because death is a part of life. Do not ignore this important part.
“Our great-grandparents were told that babies were found under gooseberry bushes or cabbages; our children are likely to be told that those who have passed on… are changed into flowers or lie at rest in lovely gardens.” — Caitlin Doughty

The task of an end-of-life doula is therefore not to improve the client’s condition in the moment, but to create a safe and comfortable space so that they can understand and live their feelings here and now: express them, cry, get angry.
Contact with an end-of-life doula can significantly improve the condition of the dying person and their loved ones.
They do not have personal relationships with their clients and will not unload their emotions on them, even if it is difficult for them.
To cope with their condition, doulas undergo supervision and many also undergo personal therapy.

Interest in home-based care without carer burnout is steadily increasing - especially as assisted dying options and better death literacy increase in different countries.

Who says international research groups aren't glamorous??! We're here and deathy from Australia (me, in pink 🦘), Canada, the UK and USA - and the End of Life Doula Association of Canada & Douglas College have been invaluable in making this all happen.
We're here in New Westminster BC Canada for the International End of Life Doula Research Group (IEOLDRG) symposium and sea-map planning session for the next year or two. We were joined on Zoom by people from several countries who are eager to help shape and inform research directions. Such a rich week we are having - thank you everyone!
Stay tuned for updates.

After a fascinating and thought-provoking day of presentations which used the prompt "Rethinking end of life doulas and..." at Douglas College in New Westminster BC, I have a weekend to grapple with my jetlag before diving into our symposium work with the International End of Life Doula Research Group. Thank you to the End of Life Doula Association of Canada and Douglas College (which has a terrific training program for EOLDs, including First Nations people and cultural needs).
Including representatives from the four countries where EOLDs are most strongly represented (Australia -me! - Canada, UK and USA), this upcoming week will explore research options and ideas for the next year or two.
I suspect a truckload of grant writing is in my future!
Stay tuned for updates and have a great day. Oh Canada! 🇨🇦

CW: Discussion of human corpses, death literacy event
Did you know that the Natural Death Advocacy Network (NDAN) offer bi-monthly information sessions that include some of the biggest names in the field - and that you don't have to be a member to attend?! The sessions run for 2 hours, with the first half being recorded and available for attendees to replay for 2 months post-event. The second half is a Q and A, but only available for NDAN members and is not recorded.
On April 2nd from 9-11am (GMT +11 Hobart/Melbourne time) Dr John Troyer will present on Technologies of the Human Corpse. Dr Troyer is the Director for Death and Society at the University of Bath, and a co-founder of the Death Reference Desk website.
You can book your tickets through trybooking here: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid=1004189&
Discount prices available to members - for a modest fee of $30 per year you can really reap the benefits.

How not to treat people with face blindness (and lose business goodwill at the same time) - insist that the person (who you know cannot remember faces) will "figure it out, so I'll leave you to it" and walk off smirking.
For me,this is awful to experience.
And fair warning: I will get some help, figure out who you are, and never - ever - refer people to you because you are neither safe nor compassionate and we work in allied fields. Because if you do this to me and you have met me, what will you do to someone with trauma, special needs, other challenges?!
Be kind to others, and don't play spiteful games with people, it hurts everyone.
Have a good, and compassionate, day.

Let's change a toxic and exclusionary practice that is rife in the language of end of life work: "walking".
Based on a quote by Californian man Ram Dass ("we're all just walking each other home"), western - predominantly white - EOL doulas, volunteers, speakers and therapists repeat this phrase like a chant. However, it is unnecessarily ableist, and therefore exclusion, in nature. Because not everyone walks, ambulates, or has control over muscle and locomotion in life - and none of us are up and around when we are dying.
Using "walk" or "walking" instead of words that indicate a role of accompanying or companioning the dying makes invisible people with disabilities, who are already marginalised. Disabled carers and those close to a dying person are also excluded when phrases of this kind are employed. Let's do better.
What words and phrases could you use instead of discriminating against disabled people?

I drove to Hobart and back today for an end of life doula-specific information session about Voluntary Assisted Dying in Tasmania, run by the fabulous VAD committee.
A brilliant morning of information capped by the discovery that THERE ARE PENGUINS FROLICKING AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING!!
Stay tuned for upcoming information sessions in 2023.

#introduction
Born in #Scotland, living in #RhodeIsland, loving in #Denmark.Fired up about the toxic culture (literal and figurative) we have in the west around #DeathandDying - we can #DoDyingBetter
I founded #Morternity as an #EndofLifeDoula and #DeathAdocate for the #DeathCurious and to connect folks with options like #GreenBurial #HomeFuneral and #HumanComposting My #Podcast #WildandPreciousEndings drops in early 2023
Became a #NewEntrepreneur #WomanEntrepreneur with help from my #AltMBA friends. So happy to be here to see how this #Grassroots social media can promote real #HumanConnection
Don't have a cat 🤷🏾

Fun fact about me: I am also a social researcher. I have a PhD in social science and conduct qualitative, feminist research.
One outcome of my research with end of life doulas in four countries is a standardised approach to creating and maintaining micro compassionate community networks for those who want to die at home. Because carer burnout is a huge problem in terms of public health - and the Mallon Model helps prevent carer burnout.
This model also works for disability and long-term rehabilitation home support.
