How this Mother describes her happiness in life is so beautiful.
Ms. Arthur, I saw this video when it was first uploaded. I thought it interesting and changed my perspective on death. It didn’t seem so scary afterwards. Recently, the topic of death has come up a lot in my life and this line of work seems very interesting. Thank you for this. I also LOVED your idea for your funeral! I told my husband that should my time come, I want disco dancefloor and they better play a lot of Madonna!
Alua is the perfect person for being an end of life Doula Alua’s energy, disposition and brilliance is magnificent Alua is a lawyer as well so it’s a combination of beauty, brilliance and death doula skills so elated that BIPOC communities are accessing the death doula services and Aluna is a death doula among Aluna’s other credentials as the field in dominated by white privileged people .
I love the work I have seen from Alua. She is so inspiring.
Wowwwwww…Amazing How humans choose to Suffer alone…Even when you offer your self…To help And comfort…
