No. 92 - A Conversation with Death Doula, Alua Arthur about Grief, Death & The Fullness of Life. PART TWO.

Hand Me My Purse.

Hey Friends & Kin!

FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

_________

Soooooooooo, this episode is a bit of a doozy. The topic is heavy, but it is so necessary. I had the pleasure of being in conversation with Alua Arthur, a beautiful black woman who is a Death Doula. The title alone, “DEATH DOULA”. That is a heavy title. I had a delightful conversation with Alua about her new book, “briefly perfectly human” which can be purchased here. The book is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING… It caused me to look at my life and really begin to think about how I value the fullness of my life. Do yourself the favor of 1. LISTENING TO PART ONE OF THIS CONVERSATION. 2. LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE (PART TWO). 3. PURCHASING HER BOOK!!!

The conversation was one that brought about an actual physical response for me in REAL TIME. The concept of grief, and in the way we began to discuss it on the show did something to my mind and my spirit. Also, I’m pretty sure my Grandmother made a guest appearance while we were talking…

Take some time and listen to part one of this conversation - No. 91 & then tune into this episode, which is part two! Run don’t walk to wherever you get your podcasts!
