In this episode of Comforting Closure - Conversations with a Death Doula, Traci Arieli sits down with Dan Fischer, founder of the One Last Wave Project, to talk about grief, connection, and what it means to carry on a relationship with someone you love after they die.
After losing his father to pancreatic cancer, Dan found himself searching for a way to process his grief. What started as writing his father’s name on a surfboard and paddling into the ocean became something much larger. Today, the One Last Wave Project honors loved ones by carrying their names into the water on handcrafted boards around the world
In this conversation, Traci and Dan talk about:
- What grief feels like when you are in it
- How nature can support emotional healing
- Continuing bonds and staying connected after someone dies
- The story behind the One Last Wave Project and how families participate
This episode offers something many people need but rarely hear. Permission to grieve in their own way, and to find their own path forward.
Whether you work in end-of-life care or are navigating loss yourself, this conversation brings both personal experience and practical understanding to the grieving.
