What's The Point Anyway - What Dying Can Teach Us About Living With Sarah Kerr
Manage episode 465433063 series 3611445
My background is broad, but around 5 years ago with no prior experience I did something which might seem very unusual and became involved in the death industry when I co-founded a funeral business. It's been one of the most rewarding businesses that I've been involved in and one of the great lessons has been that death can teach us so much about life.
I wanted to bring a guest on the show who is an expert in this space and could share their experiences, so I reached out to one of the world leading death doulas Sarah Kerr who was all too willing to share her insights. Sarah is the Founder of the Centre for Sacred Deathcare and an expert on dying.
We spoke about the role of rituals and her views on the supernatural elements of what happens when a person dies.
