***************

The Reverent Mother Annalouiza Armendariz and Reverend Wakil David Matthews offer classes on end-of-life planning, grief counseling, and interfaith (or no faith!) spiritual direction. If you are interested in any of these, please don't hesitate to contact us via email at endoflifeconvo@gmail.com.

In this podcast, we'll share people’s experiences with end-of-life. We have reached out to experts in the field, front-line workers, as well as friends, neighbors, and the community, to have conversations about their experiences with death, dying, grief, and loss. We invite wonderful people to sit with us and share their stories.

Our goal is to provide you with information and resources that can help us all navigate and better understand this important subject.


Our mission/ministry is to normalize and destigmatize conversations about death, dying, grief, and loss.

You can find us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and BlueSky. Additionally, we would appreciate your financial support, and you can subscribe by clicking the Subscribe button. Subscribers will be sent a dynamically updated end-of-life planning checklist and resources document. They will have access to premium video podcasts on many end-of-life planning and support subjects. Subscribers at $8/month or higher will be invited to a special live, online conversation with Annalouiza and Wakil and are eligible for a free initial session of grief counseling or interfaith spiritual direction.

We would love to hear your feedback and stories. You can email us at endoflifeconvo@gmail.com.

We want to thank Wakil and his wife's children for the wonderful song that begins our programs. And we want to thank our excellent editor, Sam Zemkee. We also acknowledge that we live and work on unceded indigenous peoples' lands. We thank them for their generations of stewardship, which continues to this day, and honor them by doing all we can to create a sustainable planet and support the flourishing of all life, both human and more-than-human.

    In this conversation, we speak with Cobie Whitten, a psycho-oncology consultant, about her experiences with death, the importance of emotional, psychological, and spiritual support for cancer patients and their caregivers. We explore the distinct difference between healing and cure, noting that they are not interchangeable. Cobie shares her profound experiences facilitating Harmony Retreats, describing it as the most significant healing journey imaginable, emphasising how a wellness retreat can foster personal growth and contribute positively to mental health, highlighting that true healing goes beyond mere physical recovery.

    We discuss the need for open conversations about death and dying. The dialogue emphasises the importance of quality of life, self-care, and living authentically in the face of terminal illness.

    A Pocket Guide Caregivers Need - You're Not Alone in These Final Conversations
    Dec 24 2025

    Send us a text

    In this conversation, we discuss Ann Thompson's The End-of-Life Caregivers' Pocket Guide. This practical book condenses a lot of information and offers valuable tips. We include personal anecdotes and storytelling elements to foster engagement and help people realize they are not alone in their experiences. This approach effectively combines practical advice with relatable narratives, enhancing communication skills.

    We discuss the importance of community support during the dying process, the role of hospice and palliative care, and the significance of Reiki in providing comfort to both caregivers and those who are dying. Anne shares her personal journey and insights into the challenges faced by caregivers, as well as different cultural perspectives on caregiving. The conversation emphasizes the need for open discussions about death and the resources available to support individuals and families during this difficult time.
