On this episode 23 of Living Tarot, I speak with Death Doula and Midwife, Nora Belal. As a teacher, writer, and guide Nora is dedicated to helping people make plans for end of life, engage with their mortality, and explore what that means on a practical and philosophical level. Nora’s deathwork encourages critical thinking, analysis, and action so we can shift the paradigm of grief, impermanence, and uncertainty in a constantly changing world.  Nora discusses a lot of the misconceptions that people have about the work of a death doula and death midwife.  We discuss the complexities of grief especially in a year like 2020 with massive death due to the coronavirus pandemic.  Nora explains her philosophy of being a life coach, just through the lens of death.  We discuss how people have a tendency to limit and compartmentalize their grief because of the way that it's handled in society.  We also talk about strategies for having conversations with loved ones about such a serious and heavy topic.  2020 has been a really challenging year for a lot of people And for anybody who is dealing with the loss of a loved one around the holiday season, this is a great episode to find validation and support for your grief.
