Naila Francis (she/her) is a writer, grief coach, death midwife, and ordained interfaith minister. She holds space and offers rituals for people at many of life’s sacred thresholds, including birth, marriage, death, and other transitional passages. Naila is the founder of Salt Trails, an interdisciplinary Philadelphia collective making grief shared, public and visible through community rituals. 

In this episode, Emily and Naila discuss the need for a more grief-literate society, why grief rituals with community are so important to the healing process, and how we can better show up for other community members experiencing grief. 

You can connect with and support Naila on the Salt Trails Instagram or the This Hallowed Wilderness Instagram.
