I am always impressed when celebrities go back to school and are not completely vapid cunts. She also probably got a lot of healing through her studies. I have been considering this as a possible new career for a couple of years now.

They had a death doula atthe hospice my aunt died at a few years ago. It sounds hokey but it was very helpful for me as I was all alone watching my aunt die for days and I was in terrible emotional pain dealing with it alone. Some of you who don’t want to deal with clergy might find it helpful. I think that’s great that she’s doing that.

Interesting, I didn’t even know this was a thing.

If she’s helping people in a tangible way, as opposed to “raising awareness” that the other vapid cunts do, she has my respect.

This article really interested me when I first read it. The pics are amazing. There's do much fear around death and dying but people have been doing it forever. Our culture is so backwards in dealing with it.

The day before my stepmother died at home (last July), the hospice nurse came by to do what they do (we had 24-hour care but she obviously did different things) and the look on her face when my stepsister asked if she was coming by the next day was unbelievable. It was as if my sister asked her to chop off her own leg or something. Regardless, another nurse happened to be there with us, along with her long-term caregivers, but we felt stupid for asking that question. I mean, shouldn’t hospice mean that someone from hospice is with the family to help them through the final moments?

Good for Riley. Very noble.

R10 even people who deal with death as part of their job are just people and not necessarily comfortable with it. It would be excellent if hospice workers even were required to take a course on the transition process but they don't.

You never ever hear about Lisa Marie’s children acting up in public or being jerks.

My brother is a hospice nurse and is the most insensitive clod you could imagine. (Tried to get me into Rush Limbaugh in the early ‘90s)
I feel for any family stuck with him.

"We are taught that its a morbid subject to talk about. Or were so afraid of it that we're unable to talk about it... then of course it happens to us, and we are very ill prepared...I think it's so important to be educated on conscious dying and death the way we educate ourselves on birth and conscious birthing," she wrote. "We prepare ourselves so rigorously for the entrance and have no preparation for our exit. So I'm so grateful for this community and to be able to contribute what I can."

Doula? Does that come with Tzatziki Sauce and Pita bread?

Those poor kids having to take a picture with their dead sibling. Morbid.

R18 it is a bit weird but photography was pretty new and it was a way of preserving the memory of the family. In a way it would be like today saving a last text or email from the departed.

I have pictures of my great grandmothers in their caskets at their funerals from the 1940s. There is so little information on my mother's side because of WWII and all the destruction, so many records lost. I am grateful to have them and also the pictures of their gravestones. I don't find the death photos creepy.

I can beat the creepy vibe. We have photos of several of our family members in their caskets from the early 1900s...in our living room. We still live in the same house. I guess they used to have funerals at people's homes. The caskets in the pictures are right outside my childhood bedroom. And, to top it all off, there is a creepy photograph of a really old man with a beard hanging on the wall above the caskets. I still have that photograph, too. I surprised every day that this house isn't fucking haunted or, if it is, that no one is bothering me! *knocks wood, crosses self, turns around, spits, etc*

Birth and death doulas are a thing. Penn Badgley’s wife, Domino Kirke, is a doula for baby deliveries. I say good for her if she wants to help people after her brother’s death.

A constructive way to react to a tragic event. I hope she finds peace and helps others in the same situation.
