EKR Foundation Presents: A Doulas Guide to Living Fully, Dying Prepared Francesca Arnoldy, 10-2023

Francesca Lynn Arnoldy is the author of numerous death lit books, including Cultivating the Doula Heart and Map of Memory Lane. She is a researcher with the Vermont Conversation Lab, and she was the original course developer of the University of Vermont’s End-of-Life Doula Professional Certificate programs. Francesca regularly presents on life-and-death topics with hopes of encouraging people to support one another through times of intensity.

With The Death Doula’s Guide to Living Fully and Dying Prepared, the community doula and death literacy advocate offers readers a guided tour through topics such as death anxiety, mortality awareness, compassion, and connection. This contemplative workbook is geared toward anyone wanting a more intentional approach to living and dying as well as those beginning or updating their end-of-life plans, those with serious and terminal conditions, people ready to create remembrance gifts for loved ones, and deathcare providers seeking more tools.

Among the numerous thought-provoking topics covered within the book is “memento mori,” Latin for remember that you will die. Please enjoy this excerpt as an invitation to pause, reflect, and develop (or strengthen) your own memento mori practice.

The Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Foundation is 501(c)(3) non-profit organization inspired by the life of psychiatrist, humanitarian and hospice pioneer, Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.
Though Elisabeth is often described as the “death and dying lady” or the “creator of the Five Stages of Grief®” she often referred to herself as the “life and living lady”.
It is in the spirit of embracing all of life, which includes death, that we further the mission and vision of Elisabeth through the work of the Foundation that bears her name.
