Summary

If you could think of one topic that most people tend to avoid, it would probably be the topic of death. This is certainly not the case for Angela Alberto who is a death midwife. I could totally relate to her perspective that life is short and it’s best to be prepared, most likely from my experience in the emergency room. She joined me today to talk all about what a death midwife does and how she helps families going through the process of taking care of a terminally ill family member. Angela shared that she never shied away from death or felt that discomfort about it that most people do. Her spirituality has helped her answer her calling and help those suffering in their last weeks or months of life. In this episode we discuss: What a death midwife is and how it has become more common The different options for disposing of human remains How to breach the topic of death with your children Steps to prepare for the future so your family doesn’t have to Head to the show notes for resources from this episode: lynzyandco.com/motherhood-meets-medicine-the-podcast/ Use code LYNZY for 30% off Navy Hair Care: Navy Hair Care Shampoo + Conditioner Navy Hair Care Charcoal Mask Use code LYNZY20 for Cerebelly products: Shop Cerebelly HERE Connect on Instagram @motherhoodmeetsmedicine.
