Today is Dying to Know Day, and as I've done for the past several years I ran an information and education session free to the public.

Advance planning, comparative pricing and sharing personal experiences are some of my favourite parts of these events.

How did you spend your D2KD this year?.

Did you know that in addition to working as an end of life consultant and doula I am a specialist grief therapist who uses evidence-based EFT for grief of all kinds? Yup, and I have been a grief practitioner for over 3 decades now - I wish that I had known about EFT when I started working because it is a genuine game changer in terms of processing grief, turning down the emotional volume of our grief, and supporting people with all they experience.

Want to know more? Sign up for the free 24 Hours of Tapping event where you will hear me talk about tapping for grief at 12:30pm Saturday the 15 July.

Register here: 24hoursoftapping.com/

There are so many incredible expert practitioners speaking as part of this event, including Australasia's most prolific and high-profile tapping teacher and researcher Peta Stapleton of Bond University on the Gold Coast Queensland. See you Saturday!

VAD Foster's compassion, community, communication, and better end of life and death outcomes.

Don't believe the religious hysterical hype - VAD is opt-in and offers genuine choice for those who meet the criteria.

Advocacy and support from non-medical workers - like end of life doulas - can make the process even smoother for everyone involved. Got questions? I'm here to help.

Wondering why I recommend a dedicated bank account to pay for your funeral? Because some schemes shamelessly rip people off.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility from Gentle Death Education and Planning and me, Annetta.

Trans people are under attack in many parts of the world right now, often because of religious fascism. Safe space and correct information about rights, options, and choices to ensure respect and dignity at end of life is more important than ever.

In person or online, you are safe with me. For international and long distance clients, I will also help you find a local person for your needs whenever possible.

I'm here to help.

You are always safe with me.

Curious about home funerals and green burial in Australia? I talk with Sarah Crews on her podcast A Path Home - part of the National Home Funeral Alliance in the USA - about what's new, what's hoped for, and what's important in a home funearl.

March 20-26 is Advance Care Planning Week - and if you are interested in home-based end of life care then good advance planning can help you get there.

Former USA president Jimmy Carter has opted for home-based hospice support, and this can be the norm when we all have strong death literacy and thorough advance planning.

Got questions? I'm here to help.

Thirsty for knowledge on a Thursday? Did you know that in Australia, providing the death was expected and there is no Coronial involvement, you can have hours or days with your person at home after their death?

Yup - simply have cooling in place within 8 hours and you can take all the time you need to say farewell in familiar surroundings. Everyone - children, pets, colleagues, neighbours, friends and family alike - can take time without pressure to say their goodbyes.

Soooooo...
I think it will be fun - and useful - to invent some collective nouns for end of life work. Who else is excited??!

Based on the seven roles of end of life work I have some starting ideas - let's hear yours in the comments. ☺️

Advance planners:
An Articulate
A Folder
A Pocket

End of life / Death doulas:
A Compassion
A Vigil
A Dignity

After-death body care and ritual specialists:
A Revel
A Focus

Funerals - Home Funerals in particular:
A Haven
A Help

Legacy project creators:
A Joy or a Leap
Memorial project creators: A Myth or a Meaning

Death literacy advocates: A Dialogue or a Den
Compassionate community networkers: a Circle or a Connection

Grief therapists:
A Wonder
A Guide
