A beautiful article featuring many of the amazing humans I am fortunate to call friends. A special shout out to Thea and Shelley for sharing their wonderful mums. I was fortunate to meet and work with Lorraine and Ana for death, but while both were alive.

Four days after her mother died, Shelley Anson walked into a candlelit room at a funeral home. The experience, in December, was transformative for Anson’s grief. theage.com.au/national/victo…

Washing and dressing our dead: The movement challenging how we grieve

There is a pivotal point in our grieving process that should occur three days after a death, but advocates say this is interrupted by modern practices.

It’s not often that I write about my work, so this was a lot of fun. Thanks to the team at @Biodesigned for the opportunity. Now go forth and overcome your disgust of #deadthings. I’ve got a lizard to dispose of.

Julian Bareuther and Keith English had very different deaths. One died peacefully surrounded by his family. The other took his own life after being ruled ineligible to access medication under Victoria's assisted dying laws ow.ly/oiaZ30qRgiT

Victoria's first year of euthanasia sees lives end in peace and devastation

On the first anniversary of the introduction of voluntary assisted dying, doctors say while some terminally ill Victorians are dying peaceful deaths under the laws, others are still being blocked...

The Caretaker of the Chin Hairs (Published 2018)

My mother’s whisker phobia was a proxy for other fears: being helpless, at the mercy of others’ compassion and care; the body’s incessant and inevitable failure; and death itself.

He remained there until Friday afternoon. He was mourned at home and his funeral, organised by local funeral directors, was held there. Friends visited the flat and cried for him and told him jokes and sang songs and slipped small gifts into his hands. facebook.com/story.php?story…
