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

Annalouiza and Wakil 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 the 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 and dying. We have invited wonderful people to sit with us and share their stories with one another.

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

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. We also want to acknowledge that the music we are using was composed and produced by Charles Hiestand. 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 thriving of all life, both human and more than human.

  • A 90 Year Old Reminds Us To Celebrate Death and Reimagine Funerals
    Oct 8 2025

    Send us a text

    You can watch the video version on YouTube here. We encourage you to do so, like and share, and it really helps if you watch till the end (and we always include a nice surprise bonus at the very end!)

    In this enlightening conversation, we meet with Jess Wakefield, a funeral director and end-of-life doula, to explore the evolving landscape of death care. Jess shares her personal journey with death, emphasizing the importance of celebrating lives rather than merely mourning them. The discussion highlights the shifting perspectives in the funeral industry, particularly the increasing role of women and the need for personalized, meaningful farewells. Jess advocates for open conversations about death and the necessity of community support during the grieving process, ultimately viewing death as a natural part of life that should be embraced rather than feared.
