Designing your EPIC END OF LIFE PARTY with Tammy Faulds
By Åsa Nilsson | Aug 25, 2023
Grief Coach + Death Doula Tammy Faulds understands the importance of designing
your own end of life party now. Why shouldn’t we? I mean, mic drop, you’re going to
die, so why not be in charge of creating the most epic party you can imagine?
A true reflection of YOU and who you are and how you lived and how you want it to
look. Not some sterile, boring, dark mood and dark music kind of send off.
Imagine choosing to prepare, reframe, open up, and share what we want and how
we want it to look with our loved ones. The benefits of planning for your imminent
demise now far outweighs the scrambling and stress that will inevitably happen if you don’t.
“Love leads”, my friends. Love leads.
