In this episode, Zach Ancell sits down with Barbara Solomon, a former nurse turned death doula and Death Café facilitator, who brings a wealth of experience and wisdom from her years of working closely with death. Barbara shares how witnessing countless end-of-life moments shaped her understanding of loss and grief, as well as what death can teach us about connection and compassion.
From navigating these moments of change to uncovering what death can teach us about connection, Barbara offers a profound look at how we can reframe our understanding of both endings and new beginnings. With candor and compassion, she delves into the questions that haunt us all: What happens when we die? And how do we prepare ourselves—and those we love—for that journey?
Whether you’re curious about death doulas, Death Cafés, or simply looking for a deeper way to engage with life’s inevitable changes, this conversation offers thoughtful insights and perspectives that challenge the taboos surrounding death.
