Why is Death so Taboo? A Gentle chat with Kim Somerville about End of Life
Today we welcome Kim Somerville to the podcast to talk about a topic that can be really uncomfortable and brings up a lot of emotions. By talking with Kim and having this conversation we hope we can enable more calm and support to end of life situations and experiences.
Kim explains how having a terminal illness does not have to be taboo. Death should be an honour to witness, just as birth is. As a death Doula, Kim tunes into the needs of a family unit navigating death and helps them have difficult conversations in a calm and honest way.
Kim reminds us that conversations about death and dying can be started now. She shares some ways you might like to open up conversations about wishes with loved ones or parents now, even if there is no illness.
We talk about how to navigate speaking to children about grief and loss. Children are so innocent and this can actually be a beautiful opening and inspiration to follow.
We hope this episode is thought provoking and brings you peace if you are going through the illness or death of a loved one or, if you are on this path yourself. All our love and please reach out to Kim or either of us, we are always here to chat.
