Minimizing the pain of grief is beyond cruel and demonic.
It's even worse when closure is complicated from an open-ended conclusion
How we express
Acknowledge
Our need to continue living makes all the difference

like father - white skull like ghost - black skull (Ren)egades Password hint - what song started this collaboration?
The Diary of Death's daughter has MANY reasons for being created.
We are all going to DIE 🪦💀🥀
But we don't seem to prepare those we leave behind.
Death is ONLY the beginning 🦋🐦🔥♾️

For most of human history, families buried their own — without embalmers, caskets, or vaults. #GreenBurial reclaims that intimacy, and a #deathDoula helps families understand they still can. #EndOfLifeCare

Grief comes in waves… #mikeythedeathdoula #deathdoula #grief #griefjourney
As a Death Doula I know this isn’t some miraculous recovery. This is the surge and it is so important that we take advantage of this precious time. #mikeythedeathdoula #deathdoula #hospice
Last chance: this weekend come to a women led and women invited Grief Rest Stop: www.adrianna-prosser.com/2026/02/08/g...
Happening April 11th at 6pm in east end Toronto
#deathdoula
The secular dying person does not need their fear reframed into something more palatable. They need someone who can sit inside the same unmediated reality they inhabit — and stay.

✨People think there is nothing left to do at the end of life.
✨But there is comfort.
There is dignity.
There is presence.
There is love.
✨There is still so much care.

✨Sometimes we just need to play along to get along to accomplish our bigger goal 😉
✨ We are masters at navigating complex situations 💪
#mikeythedeathdoula #deathdoula #endoflifecare
Seriously though- it’s not our job to “fix” or proselytize to folks at the end of life. We are called to bear witness and support that’s all 🫶 #mikeythedeathdoula #deathdoula #deatheducation #deatheducator #hopsice 
#Death doesn’t have to be scary. It’s something everyone experiences and will experience! Once we remember that, it becomes less of an #existenialnightmare and more of a peaceful fact. #deathdoula #peaceful #momentomori

Replying to @sincerelynothanks what is the difference between the two? #mikeythedeathdoula #deathdoula #deatheducator #hopsice
I was pleased to share my perspective on death doula work in The Washington Post. I especially like #7 as comprehensive, thoughtful end of life planning can be a powerful way to cultivate more #joy in your life now!

The call arrives without warning. No vigil, no farewell, no final words. Most death doula content assumes there was time. This piece is for the families for whom there was none — and why the love was complete even when the ending was not.

Your death will not be the end of the world.
But it will be the end of yours.

✨After someone dies, there are quiet moments most people never see.
✨Death care is sacred work.

There is no “typical” day in this work.
Some days are quiet.
Some days are heavy.
But every single day…
I am reminded how sacred this work truly is.

New date added: Grief Rest Stop led by women and women invited www.adrianna-prosser.com/2026/02/08/g...
April 11th in east end Toronto #deathdoula
Sometimes, right before active dying…
there’s a sudden burst of energy.
They wake up.
They eat.
They seem like themselves again.
It’s called “the rally.”
And it can be confusing — even comforting if you don’t know what it is.
But for those of us who do…
we know what may be coming next #deathdoula
