: Death Nesting ~ The Heart-Centered Practices of a Death Doula by Anne-Marie Keppel
Recommended by FT, counselor & ADEC volunteer Kailey Bradley

When people prepare for birth, we colloquially say that they’re “nesting” in preparation for the new life on its way. However, we don’t often talk about preparing the same way for death (and we should). In this unique book, death doula and end-of-life educator Keppel provides practical information and compassionate practices that facilitate deathcare that honors the whole person. I particularly loved the chapter in this book about death being a sensory and spiritual experience. Too often, death is solely framed as a medical or physical event. However, Keppel challenges that notion, and reminds us that death is a layered experience and should be attended to holistically (emotionally, physically and spiritually). She also incorporates mindfulness and ritual into this important work with the aim of inviting our full presence. The book also offer a good index of resources at the back.

Death Nesting shares a quote by Clarissa Pinkola Estes early in the book that orients its theme — it rings true and was profound to me, “Love in its fullest form is a series of deaths and rebirths.”
This book is ideal for end-of-life care professionals, thanatologists, hospice volunteers, and also anyone who wants to provide or experience a heart-centered, gentle and good death.

Today, June 21, 2023 our phone lines and internet are currently down. Centurylink cannot send someone out again until June 28th to address the problem. (They were working on our neighbor's line when ours went down).

Please feel free to call and leave a message (we can retrieve voicemails and ring you back) OR email us at [email protected] and we will get back to you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.
