On being a death doula: "sitting at the bedside with hospice patients inspires me to make the most of each moment in my own life and makes me more aware of my own mortality. Becoming a death doula has taught me about what to expect at the end of life and given me the opportunity to help others do the same."

I had the BEST time recording with @catherine_ashton_critical of Critical Info this morning! (Not, I must say, in an Oodie but Remy needed a walk 😉 ) We talked about end of life doulas, advance planning, grief, inclusive death care, and why a pet's death can be just as devastating as a human's.

Catherine's work is extraordinary and high-calibre, I encourage you to follow her if you don't already.

What are your weekend plans??!

I'm approaching the end of the funeral planning, just a few bits left to do.
At some point, I need to think about what I'll be saying in my part of her eulogy.

Meanwhile, I sent off the first list of questions about my new (volunteer) safeguarding role.

It looks like I have several, about 12?, different strands of voluntary work, but there are overlaps.

And I'm still thinking about my role in supporting end-of-life journeys. I can't afford any official training, but maybe I can offer to do informal support?

Newton, the dog who has lived with me for two years, died yesterday. I had more words to say about it than can be shared here, so am attempting to share a link to the Substack post I made about it.
