23: Grief is a Shipwreck

How might death shape us as compassionate and connected human beings?

“Death just becomes so much more present and real in your life in a way that we generally block out and ignore. We live in so much denial of our mortality in order to persist in life on a daily basis.”


How might death shape us as compassionate and connected human beings, and how do we hold our community and allow our community to witness us during the hardest times of our lives? Daisy’s mom, Kim, passed away from breast cancer when she was 30. In this episode, she talks about how she made it through that loss and how she continues to honor her today.
