I'd like a green burial. Preferably my body wrapped in woollen shroud. No coffin for me. I hope my people will line my woodland grave with straw, branches, herbs & flowers. Then lower my body & nestle it on top. Don't be scared of my body's outline.

this monthly virtual support group has been reimagined as a place for BIPOC/PGM who experience SI to exist without the white gaze, without the need to explain, and without the threat of judgment or forced intervention.

This is a true story about unexpected, mundane legacy & pleasingly dull personal artefacts.
It charts an activity we found ourselves doing a few months after Dad died, but a thing that was weirdly engaging & comforting. A little adventure.

Guest speakers from Dying with Dignity Canada lead us through the choices around accessing medical assistance in dying with discussion where we can ask questions and share experiences about MAiD and how it relates to our lives.

Tuesday, February 11 at 7 p.m. EST Medical Assistance in Dying We will be joined by two guest speakers from Dying with Dignity Canada who will lead us through the choices that come up around accessing medical assistance in dying. In Canada (and likely elsewhere), there are important concerns tied to the way MAiD is made available while other life-saving supports are not. Although the presentation will not focus on these aspects, the presentation will be followed by discussion where we can ask questions and share experiences about MAiD and how it relates to our lives. Expect engaging discussions and a supportive community to share your thoughts and experiences. This session is for people curious about MAiD, who are considering it for themselves, or with loved ones who have accessed or applied for MAiD. On zoom with closed captioning. Hosted by Tiana Dargent of Queer Community Deathcare

From the TalkDeath archives, "We live in the Anthropocene – a time of ecological crisis and loss. This is the era of ecological grief."
Ecological Grief: Mourning the Loss of Our Planet
Ecological grief is defined as the grief felt in response to climate-related losses of valued species, ecosystems, and meaningful landscapes due to climate change.

in death care, we see abolitionist practices in end of life autonomy, rejecting oppressive institutions and centering care in grief.

how do you envision death care as an act of resistance?
