Thursday's Dead Serious Thoughts (I know talking about it can be a party killer, but one day, the party will be about you!)
Writing an obituary is a task often left to family...at a time when they already have a lot on their plates, including grieving.
Have you ever thought about writing your own? Who you were and what meant the most to you is known firsthand by YOU. Obituary's don't have to be boring. They can read like a good short story, or be written in the first person, or in rhymed iambic pentameter! Or maybe you don't want one at all... do your friends and family know that?
Personally, I want mine to make people laugh- or at least smile.

Thursday's Dead Serious Thoughts (Comin' in hot so that you can check "Thought about Death today" off your "to do" list today!)
There are so many "final resting places" these days. Driven by lack of space, promoting a healthier environment, and sometimes even cost. 😳
What will happen to your body after you die? Do you want to grow a tree? Ashes thrown into the lake? Or something different? (If you can cite a source- even better, but. not necessary).

Thursday's Dead Serious Thoughts (Hitting you each week, because we won't get comfortable if we keep avoiding it!)
New Hampshire has not yet legalized Medical Assistance in Dying, (MAID) although all of our neighboring states have. For those of you near and far, how do you feel about this legal option? Drop a letter answer or share a little more. I'm dying to know...
If you aren't in NH, is MAID legal in your state?

Thursday's Dead Serious Thoughts
(Coming at you weekly, because death is going to happen and you might as well think about it a little...)
As we head into a new year, we often think about the year ahead. The challenges, the joys, the accomplishments.
So, what's your take? Do you think our souls are secretly guiding us towards our highest potential or are we just winging it? 🤷♀️
Please share your thoughts! Happy New Year and may it be filled with laughter, tears and a healthy dose of existential crisis!

Thursday's Dead Serious Thoughts
(Coming to you weekly- Even on Christmas- to reinforce that there is no bad time to talk about hard things because they could actually be beautiful and bring you peace.)
What is your favorite holiday tradition and where did it originate?
Traditions start with the living and can be a beautiful way to honor those who have passed on before us. They remain alive and in our thoughts and memories.
What is your favorite holiday tradition? Why is it your favorite? Who started it?
Sending you love and light this holiday season. 🎄
Sending love and light on this holiday season to bring you peace and healing one day at a time.

Well, I’m officially “behind”! I intended to get this out MUCH earlier, but I found that my answer to last week’s question was more work than I had anticipated. It was a hard (emotional) one for me. But not without a beautiful break-through lesson at the end.
I also contemplated just letting the holidays go by before I posted anything more. Who wants to read about death during the holidays? 🤷♀️
I decided to post this because, in reality, death itself does not take a break from the holidays. It presses on. And if we gradually address it, take it in in small bites, with all of its gifts and lessons, it will become more normalized. That is the goal.
Thank you for reading and joining me on this journey.

(Comin' at you weekly to get you comfortable with at least THINKING about topics of death & dying)
We've all heard the term "woo-woo" right? The term that describes those who don't always align with traditional conventional thoughts or beliefs. And I'm guessing that maybe to some, the image of a woman in a white flowing dress dancing barefoot around a fire on the full moon surrounded by crystals comes to mind. (No judgement!) On a scale of 1 - 5 chili peppers, how woo-woo or able to think out of the box, are you?
I ask because sometimes stepping outside of known or learned traditional beliefs can actually lead to a new perspective that could feel right to you. Thoughts and things that you intuitively know and understand can sometimes lack the "proof" that others need to feel comfortable.
In my role as a Sacred DeathCare Guide, talking about the needs of the soul IS a "normal" conversation. As is talking about death, dying, grief, and/or loss. Maybe it's considered "woo-woo", but I do it anyway. Because in my experience as a SDC Guide and a prior hospice nurse, these conversations are important and lacking because they make others uncomfortable.
We need to change that. 100% of us will successfully die. Why don't we start normalizing death conversations.
How woo-woo are you? And why?

Thursday's Dead Serous THoughts
(Coming at you every week to encourage us to be unafraid of talking about death and dying)
Have you ever witnessed someone taking their last breath? How did it impact you? Was it peaceful or otherwise? What did you learn from it? Did I leave you thinking that you wanted something similar or totally different? And why?
Today’s blog addresses the question from last Thursday (12/4/25): What do you think/believe happens to you/your soul when and after you die? In order to try to accurately describe how I most closely relate, I will re-tell a story that was once shared with me that resonates with me. Once upon a ti

Universe: “Hello, it’s me again. I am reminding you for the 18,000th time (that’s almost once a day for your whole life...) that you were meant for big things, and now is the time for change.”
Me: “Um yeah, right, hang on, I’ll be right with you.”
Universe: “OK, but when you get the email today, don’t ignore it. It is the gentlest sign I can give without hitting you over the head with a #8 frying pan”.
Me: “Gotcha. I’ll be sure to check my “in” box.”
Later that day, in my in box:
It may or may not have gone down exactly like that. It kinda sorta went like that, with a few differences, like it was actually the President of the hospital with whom I had worked over the last 17 years and not in fact the Universe that sent me the email that was the demise of my job. (Shocker!) You’d think that that news would put me into a tailspin...but not so much. I did sit in front of my computer, numb, staring and rereading the email to be sure I fully understood what it was saying. The gist of it was that without the support of the hospital, the job I had would serve no purpose. I tried to think creatively; Could I tweak the programs? Could I recruit replacement physicians? Could we change our direction? But, even thinking creatively, none of those options blew my dress up. Then I thought, “To what end? Why would I make something work that I had little interest in moving forward? Hadn’t I subconsciously been looking for other ways to give back, to live, to contribute? This was a sign that it was time for a change.
I’ve always felt richly blessed; Like I had a lot for which I could be, and am, truly thankful. I couldn’t have imagined that I could really be any happier. But I am. I’m turning 50 in December 2018 and have finally figured things out. Ok, maybe not EVERYTHING entirely, but the main things. Seriously. At 50. WTH.
But the journey was divinely perfect. I needed to meet the most incredible man I have ever met to understand a new level of unconditional love and support; I needed to start a job at Hospice to understand what a privilege it is to work with the dying and that it is part of my calling; I needed my youngest child to graduate from high school and be independent (-ish); I needed to experience and discover the power of essential oil and be exposed to the people in its grasp: my tribe. Those people opened my eyes to an infinite number of things that the universe has to offer; healing, accepting, loving, and a crazy deep level of self introspection. It led to rediscovering my love for Reiki, brought me to Restore for Life (energy healing) and then onto a class to learn and practice Shamanic Healing.
All of those things are lumped into my desire to help heal, which is why I became an RN. Yet this path of practicing medicine isn’t “by the book” like practicing western medicine generally is. Eastern medicine (i.e.: Holistic, natural, complementary, alternative) is guided by a connection to a power that is SO much greater than myself. It is about being an exceptional listener and vessel. I listened and made the change. My goal is to bring peace to the souls of as many as possible. Both for the living and dying.
If I live to 100 I only have 50 years left to live my dream. Time to get at it.
