There’s a moment that separates people who care from people who can actually help.

When I was 15-17 years old my former mother in law and I used to go on mom daughter dates.

We enjoyed potato soup at Kmart, yes, Kmart 😊 They had the best soup.

We would sit and talk, it was such a precious time. She died a few years ago.

After her son and I divorced, we had minimal contact. A few days before her death we had a beautiful goodbye.

Oh it was heartbreaking saying goodbye to someone you loved so much, I knew that would be the last time I heard her laugh, I could hear it in her last I love you.

Each time we lose somebody so close to us to death, it is like losing a part of ourselves. .

The food smells, a sound. Those memories are like touching them, being with them, hearing their voice just for a moment.

I think those are little winks from heaven and precious reminders that we hold in our heart that are gifts to us from them. 💙

Good information

What to expect when someone dies unexpectedly at home 🏠

This is different from hospice, and I want people to be informed, not frightened.

If someone dies at home unexpectedly (in their sleep, a sudden medical event, or unknown cause), here’s what usually happens:
🙏First, If there's even a chance they can be helped, obviously call 911.
If not, ⏸️ pause.
You are allowed to take a moment. You can sit down. You can breathe. Call a support person. Nothing needs to happen immediately.
🚪If it feels overwhelming, it is okay to close the door to the room. You do not need to look. You do not need to act. You do not need to “be strong.”
📞When you’re ready, call 911 if you haven't, not a funeral home. Unexpected deaths must be reported.
If the person is clearly deceased and no life-saving intervention is expected, you can tell the dispatcher that and request that responders come without lights and sirens. This is a reasonable request and can help keep the moment calmer for everyone involved.
🚑Emergency responders will arrive and assess the situation. Law enforcement is usually notified. This does not mean anyone is in trouble, it is procedural.
👮🏽‍♂️In many cases, the coroner or medical examiner will be contacted. They may pronounce death, ask questions, and determine whether an autopsy is required.
🚐Sometimes the body is transported for examination. Sometimes it is released directly to a funeral home.

This varies by situation and location.
🚫You do not need to:
• clean the room
• change bedding
• wash or dress the body
• gather paperwork right away

The house does not need to be “presentable.” Grief is not a performance.

After the body is removed, pause again.

This moment can feel just as overwhelming, sometimes more. You may feel numb, shaky, unreal, or suddenly empty.
👌🏻You are allowed to:
• close the door
• sit in silence
• leave the house
• drink water
• do nothing

You do not need to clean immediately. You do not need to make phone calls right away. You do not need to decide anything that night.

The world often expects productivity after death. That expectation is wrong.

If this ever happens to you or someone you love:
💕You didn’t do anything wrong.
💕Nothing needs to be rushed.
💕Breathing counts as enough.

We must remember this for our own personal lives.

When someone dies close to us in our family. As first responders, practitioners, and all who deal with grief and our family members, we need to slow down and allow ourselves to grieve too.💙

This is what it can look like after someone dies on hospice at home.
An empty bed.
A quiet room.
Lights off because nothing else needs doing yet.

Death doesn’t immediately trigger urgency the way movies suggest.
There is time.
As they teach us in death doula classes, "Put the kettle on...". There is time.

After death, hospice will confirm it, either in person or by phone, depending on your care plan and the state rules. Once death is pronounced, the body is legally allowed to remain in the home for hours. You are not required to call the funeral home right away.

Here are some things that may happen in that space between death and removal and all of them are normal:

• The body will begin to cool
• The skin may become pale or mottled
• The jaw may relax and the mouth may open slightly
• The eyes may remain partially open
• There may be small releases of air or fluid
• The room may feel very still, emotionally and physically

You can take this time if you want it.
You can sit on the bed.
You can hold their hand.
You can wash their face, brush their hair, say prayers, talk to them, or say nothing at all.
You can open a window.
You can let the room be exactly as quiet as it needs to be.

There is no rush unless you want there to be one.

When you’re ready, hospice or the funeral home will handle the next steps. Until then, this space belongs to you, not paperwork, not timelines, not logistics.

No alarms.
No countdown.
Just the pause after a life has ended and before the world starts moving again.

If you’ve never seen this part before, that’s okay.
Most people haven’t.

We support grief professionals, first responders, healthcare and mental-health workers, educators and support staff, holistic practitioners, and adults who support families divorce, division, deployment, diagnosis, dying and death to heal themselves first through storytelling and play.

Grief professionals, first responders, healthcare and mental health professionals, educators and support staff, and holistic practitioners experience disproportionately high rates of mental health challenges due to chronic exposure to trauma and sustained high-stress environments.

Ongoing national research continues to reveal a devastating silent crisis: su***de rates among first responders and caregiving professions are alarmingly high, and in multiple documented years and studies, deaths by su***de among police officers and firefighters have matched or exceeded line-of-duty deaths.

These professions also show elevated rates of PTSD, depression, burnout, and suicidal ideation compared to the general population. Underreporting and inconsistent data collection mean the true scope is likely even greater.

This is not inevitable.
This is not weakness.

It is the cost of carrying everyone else’s stories.

Let’s change this, now.

Come tell your story. Sit at the table. You do not have to carry it alone.
