The Caring Death Doula
Navigating Grief: Permission To Feel Everything
When loss rearranges your life, it’s easy to wonder whether you’re grieving “the right way.” We open a calm, safe space to remind you that there is no right way—only your way.
If you wake up angry, cry at noon, and laugh by evening, that mix is not a mistake. It’s a sign that your heart is still working, carrying love and absence at the same time.
Together we acknowledge that grief is exhausting work. It takes energy and what you feel can be all over the place.
You’ll hear repeated permission to feel without apology—tears without explanation, laughter without guilt, quiet without pressure to perform.
If you need a companion on a hard day, this conversation sits with you, not to fix your pain but to honor it. Expect validation for mixed emotions, and a reminder that you are not alone.
Press play for grounded comfort from a caring death doula who walks beside you through the fog and helps you find a rhythm that respects your limits and your love.

Thank you for joining me today. This is the Caring Death Deal, and I am very pleased that you are here. It honors me. I feel very honored that you take precious time to listen to this podcast, to be here in this safe place, to honor your loved one, to learn how to support each other. Now, grieving is hard, and I want you to know I understand this. And I want you to know that it's okay if you don't understand why you feel like crying. You don't always have to explain or understand your feelings. If you wake up and you're angry one day, it's okay. If you in the middle of the day just need to cry and you don't really understand why, it's okay. Grief is hard, and I know when the support stops, you feel so alone. But I want you to know that I am here. I am here to walk with you, to support you, to help you to understand that your feelings, whatever they may be, whatever you're struggling with today, whether it's to get out of bed, whether it's to leave the house, whether it is to be the strong one, and you're tired, you don't want to be the strong one. It's okay. It's okay if your joy is heavy. It is okay if you're if you're struggling and you're confused because you don't understand how you can have sorrow and joy at the same time. Don't feel guilty for laughing, for being happy. Don't feel guilty for the anger or for the crying or for the needing to stay in and take care of yourself. Grieving is hard. It takes your energy. And sometimes you just you need support. You need to take care of yourself, you need to rest, you need to cry, you need to laugh, you need to be angry. Don't feel bad about what you're feeling right now. Don't tell yourself that, oh, I should be over it, or I should be doing this, or whatever comes to your mind. Don't let it get to you. Don't guilt yourself. Don't don't shame yourself into thinking that you should have done this or that differently. This is the caring death, doula, and I am here for you.
