Understanding Modern Death (in-person + livestream)
w. Alycia Lee
What is it like to die in today's world: What is it like to die in today's world? What does end of life look like for most people now? We will discuss what statistically happens for those dying and explore the feasibility of alternative scenarios.
Practical considerations: Equip yourself with knowledge about legal and medical matters related to death, such as advance care planning, living wills, and funeral/disposition planning. This practical understanding can bring a sense of control and alleviate anxieties for you and your loved ones.
Emotional and spiritual aspects of death: Explore the spectrum of emotions that arise when confronting death, both for yourself and loved ones. Learn tools for navigating grief, fear, and uncertainty, and discover how to find meaning and solace in this profound transition.
This talk is an invitation to:
Embrace death as a natural part of life
Navigate your own mortality with wisdom and courage
Support loved ones facing death and dying
Find meaning and purpose in the face of impermanence
Remember, death is not the ending; it's a transformation. Let's approach it with open hearts and minds, and discover the beauty and wisdom that lie within.

My name is Alycia Lee and I reside in Kalamazoo, Michigan. My death doula journey began several years ago with the deaths of some family members and pets. In realizing that I had a high comfort level and an affinity for being in the space of dying, I started to look for ways that I could serve in that space. I discovered that I could train to become something called a death doula, and in many ways realized that I already was one!
I trained with Going With Grace for my death doula education and The Dying Year for my home funeral training. I have since attended several other conferences, trainings and workshops for advance care planning, home funerals, pet death and other doula related training. I now seek to serve my community by providing these services.
