Shrug off the cloak of secrecy and awkwardness around death with palliative care nurse Pippa White. I've been wanting to bring a death convo to the airwaves for ages, because there's a huge imbalance between light/dark, above/below, waxing/waning, growth/decay, possessing/relinquishing energies in our culture (and I'm the first person to perpetuate it). Shout out to everyone who sent frank and thoughtful questions for Pippa to answer – you'll hear them towards the end of the ep.Pippa White is a palliative care nurse and death care advocate and educator in the Anthroposophical tradition. We discuss:🖤 What is Anthroposophic philosophy?🖤 Death care rituals, balms and vigils🖤 Windows into the reality of spirit from people in transition🖤 Why to "do the work" at the eleventh hour🖤 Soothing suffering without drugs🖤 How painful is death?🖤 Different ways to relate to pain🖤 Small, slow solutions to dying (tiny local end of life retreats)🖤 Pet euthanasia, yay or nay?🖤 How to deal with loved ones in denial?🖤 Can you make a living in end of life care?🖤 How do you document/cherish a life?🖤 What folks find difficult when dying?🖤 Grieving to breathe and to love🖤 Birth and death thresholdsLINKY POOS 🧙‍♀️Pippa White [https://ndan.com.au/palliative-care/pippa-white]Anthroposophical Society Australia [https://www.anthroposophyau.org.au/]What is Advance Care Planning?
