It’s not because I’m a monster…

It’s because in our grief illiterate and death-denying society, we rush to dry tears instead of allowing their cleansing power to course down our faces and drip off our chins.

I won’t offer you a tissue. But I’ll have one for you when you tell me you’re ready for it.

It is not the great equalizer.

I am often quiet on what I see in the US, thinking “it’s not my country, I have no say”.

I’m also quiet because Canada is far from perfect.

Glass houses and all that.

But what happens there will happen here. Unless we fight like our lives depend on it.

32 people were directly killed by ICE last year. I can’t tel you any of their names.

I do know those 32 weren’t white Christian mothers.

I am a death educator. I am a funeral director, embalmer, and an end-of-life doula. I am a last responder.

I don’t use terms like “death positive”. And I don’t believe for a second that we are equal in death.

Life is not neutral. Nor is death. It is part of life, and life is political.

May we come together in love, and may we fight like our lives depend on it.

This was a comment on one of my most popular reels, about how "Ashes aren't Ashes".

The worst thing about talking about stuff no-one wants to talk about (and getting noticed) is that you have to deal with stuff like comments like this. INCESSANTLY. Like, ALL the time.

Stuff people (and bots?) come after me for usually has little to do with my content. They come at me for my hair, my glasses, my lipstick, my accent.

And sometimes, you know what? it's hard not think F-it. I don't need this level of hate.

But I also know that talking about death to make it a more normal part of life is actually something that makes a difference for folks.

So I'm not going to stop. Not at all.

In fact, I'm going to see what I can do to draw the hate this way. Maybe, if these sad people are spewing it at me--someone who has every advantage possible in this life--they won't have as much time to sent it towards others.

I'm going to be the FB equivalent of the old lady who ties up the phone-scammer's time so they can't make their scam calls to someone else!!

If you don't already follow me, please do. Let's talk about what really matters.

And ignore the bullies.
