With Sarah Kerr, PhD, Death Doula and Ritual Healing Practitioner

When the Veil Thins

Posted on August 21, 2020

I had the most amazing session with a client this afternoon. She’s dying, and has been begun experiencing visitations from across the veil. The experiences are still fleeting at this stage, but they’re undeniable.

The Hidden Grief of Miscarriage

Posted on February 14, 2019

If you’ve been through a miscarriage, you know the grief it brings. And yet, there’s a cultural message which says, “These things happen.” Yes, these things happen, but there’s still incredible loss even when [Read more…]

When Death Happens Before Birth

Posted on July 7, 2018

Energetically, the experience of parenting is solidified at the moment of conception, and the energetic contract between souls —mother, father, child, (and siblings if there are any)— may begin even before that. No matter how [Read more…]

Meeting Death as a Couple

Posted on September 16, 2017

The pressure of facing his death was putting an enormous strain on their marriage. When the tension surfaced, it was easy for them to believe that the stress and discomfort they were each feeling was caused by something the other person [Read more…]

Digging my Father’s Grave

Posted on August 21, 2017

A Healing Ritual for Abortion

Posted on September 22, 2016

Our goal in this ritual was not only to change the experience for this child, this couple, and those who care about and support them, but also to help build new healing patterns in the cultural field, so that all those who have, or will, go through [Read more…]

Supporting Twins to Connect Beyond Death

Posted on April 26, 2016

The brother had never been ritually conveyed to the Village of the Ancestors, and the sister hadn’t been helped to reconfigure their bond so she could relate to him as an ancestor, rather than a living sibling. He was, in a sense, still here, and [Read more…]

Helping Kids Witness Death

Posted on March 28, 2016

I recently did a euthanizing ceremony for Artie, a family’s beloved cat. The vet came to the house, so the whole family (including Panther, the other cat) could be part of it. It was both very sad, and very beautiful. [Read more…]

A Hospice Deathbed Ritual

Posted on February 15, 2016

Even the simplicity of an ordered participation can help stabilize things. When they washed his hands and face with warm water and lavender, when they spoke their goodbyes, and when they anointed his forehead [Read more…]

A Coffin Closing Ceremony

Posted on October 16, 2015

There’s a fine line between empowering families to take death back from all the forces in this culture that push it away, and offering stable guidance when their world has come completely undone. Sometimes what people most need is [Read more…]
