I was lucky to host this beautiful being, Luna Love, for a few weeks in my home this summer and was honored to have the opportunity to do an in-person interview with her as a return guest on the podcast. (Listen to Luna's original episode here)
This happened to be right after Luna finished a death midwifery training, and I was astounded to hear all the information she had been learning about death and the funeral industry.
After having my grandmother pass away last year, I have been thinking a lot about how our culture does not really prepare us for this powerful rite of passage moment.
This episode is FULL with information I believe we ALL need to know - both to prepare our loved ones, but also to prepare ourselves for a moment that we are all going to inevitably face one day.
In this episode we discussed:
- Luna's story of losing her mother at 13, and her inspiration to become a midwife for those passing away
- Grief and how in our culture we often overlook opportunities to honor our grief in rite of passage moments
- What you probably don't know about the funeral industry
- How we can bring more awareness about our own death and use it as empowerment on how we want to live
- Luna's end of life wishes
- What documents we can put together to be prepared for our own death and passing
- How we can prepare emotionally, be there for others passing and prepare for ourselves
