I thank you for coming here and making this space a part of your grief journey.
Grief can be loud, or it can be eerily quiet. Either way, it can convince you that you are on your own.
I recorded this message for you to hear and to hear it clearly : you are not alone, and you do not have to carry grief by yourself.
We stay focused on self-care that actually helps during moments that hit with grief , the kind that does not rush you, shame you, or demand a neat timeline.
I talk about why avoiding grief can make it heavier over time, and how supportive presence can bring real relief.
I also share ways to connect with me if you want more than a podcast, including one-on-one support options like calls or messaging, plus the possibility of bringing Death And Cheesecake gatherings online for listeners who are not local.
If you have been searching for grief support, coping with loss tools, or a compassionate death doula voice that will not try to fix you, this is for you. You deserve someone who will listen, help you feel steady, and respect your pace. If this helps, subscribe, share it with someone who is grieving, and leave a review so more people can find this kind of care.
Frances, The Caring Death Doula, holding space for you.

Hello and welcome. Thank you for joining me today. It truly means a lot to have you, my listener, tuning in to more than one episode, possibly every week. I thank you. It does not go unnoticed. I look every week at the countries, at the towns in those countries. And so I know that you're coming back, that you're finding some comfort, some meaning, some direction in this podcast. And I thank you for showing up. I thank
A Thank You To Returning Listeners
SPEAKER_00you for joining me. I want to continue our discussion that we've had the last two episodes about taking care of yourself, of not pushing aside your grief, avoiding it, ignoring it. And I know that most of my listeners are not local. As interesting as a fact that is, I know that most of you are not local. But if you happen to be local, then I encourage you to connect with me.

How To Reach Me Locally
SPEAKER_00helping you, encouraging you in your grief, in walking along someone else, discussing the variety, the different kinds of grief, the way it hits us. There's just over 60 episodes. And I just encourage you to go back and listen to them. Share them with someone you know who's grieving, who has been grieving. I don't want you to feel alone because you're not alone.

One On One Help From Afar
SPEAKER_00reach out, the caring deathdoula at gmail.com. Because I am here for you. I don't want you to walk this alone. And I'm not here to fix you. I'm not here to really tell you anything. I want to encourage you. I want you to understand and know that you are not alone. I want to encourage you to get the help you need, to find someone who will listen. And I know that's hard. And that's why I really felt that it was important in this episode today to just remind you at the end of my episodes in the notes. There's my links to follow me on Facebook and Instagram.
I Will Not Fix You
SPEAKER_00There's my email. You can even send a fan mail for this episode or other episodes, and I'll respond. But email is really the best. So I just wanted to put that out there. That if you're needing a little bit more than the podcast, if you are beginning to see that you do need someone, not someone who's going to fix you, not someone who's going to necessarily drag you through anything that you don't want to, you're not ready to.
