Happy Earth Day 2023! š Green burials, home funerals, and conservation, oh my!
Lee Webster has been on the frontlines of funeral reform advocacy for many years. She has worked in all areas of end of life and after death care and has been passionate about a return to the natural ways we used to care for the dead- in the home and in the community. In this spotlight episode, Eliza picks Leeās brain about hospice, funerals, and cemeteries from her developing lens and role of social worker. Lee shares her experiences in caring for the body of a loved one, of being truly present to the sensual bond that helps make meaning of our loved oneās death, and softens our grief experience. Be sure to listen to the end for Leeās own ghost stories- of being lovingly haunted by her parents, that is- after their passings.
Here are just a FEW of the amazing things Lee has been involved with over the last decade:
