Before the caterpillar can become the butterfly, it comes completely undone in a pile of unsightly goop inside the cocoon.

Are you in the goopy cocoon space of your grief currently?

Would you like some company?

As an artist, and a griever, I have learned a few things about using my hands when feeling some feelings.

If your hands have been asking for something to do with what your heart is carrying…

Art as repetition.

Art as meditation.

Art as a container.

Death care begins long before death.

Through thoughtful planning, honest conversations, and a meaningful goodbye doesn't have to be outsourced.

Small acts of preparation that become enormous acts of love.

Death care is preventative grief care.
