Learning How to Live | Alua Arthur

View descriptionShare

Death doula Alua Arthur never thought about death until two back-to-back experiences changed her life. A serendipitous encounter with a woman on a bus dying of uterine cancer and the terminal diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma by her brother-in-law opened her eyes to what happens when we don’t plan for death. From those moments on, Alua realized the power in guiding people through the dying process, and devoted her life to working as a death doula. On this episode, Ricki and Alua talk about how to plan for your death, why dying can bring about a fuller life, and the wonder Alua witnesses as her clients pass from this world to whatever comes next.
