  • S5 Ep6: Life lessons from the dying with Josefine Speyer
    Jul 15 2024
    Joining the final episode of the series is Josephine Speyer, a German psychotherapist based in London who has dedicated much of her life to changing the way we approach death and dying. Josephine co-founded the Natural Death Centre in 1991 with her late husband, Nicholas Albery. This educational charity has been a beacon of support, offering free and impartial advice on all aspects of dying, bereavement, and consumer rights, including assistance with burials and funerals.

    Josephine shares her captivating journey, from her unconventional start in Frestonia to her profound spiritual experiences following her husband's tragic death. We delve into her artistic nature, her move to the UK, and her deep-seated belief in the power of natural burials and non-traditional funerals.

    Josephine's insights are not only enlightening but also deeply moving, providing a rich tapestry of experiences and wisdom on the often-taboo subject of death. Join us as we explore her thoughts on making our final journeys meaningful and personal, and learn from her unique perspective on life, death, and everything in between.

    Tune in to this poignant episode of The Life and Death Podcast with Josephine Speyer, and be prepared to see death in a new light.

    Jul 1 2024

    Dr. Lawlor discusses how her journey through the loss of her rabbit, Gem, during the pandemic led her to create her Instagram page, petlossdoctor. She opens up about the challenges of discussing her pet's death with colleagues and how this inspired her to support others facing similar experiences.
    Growing up as the introverted middle sister, Dr. Lawlor found solace in the company of animals. Her summers in Ireland, surrounded by animals, shaped her understanding of the unique bond between humans and their pets. She highlights the lack of specialised services for pet loss and stresses the importance of acknowledging and addressing this grief.
    Throughout the episode, Dr. Lawlor addresses common questions about pet loss, such as coping with guilt and regret, and offers insights on navigating this difficult time. She emphasises that grief is a natural response to losing someone you love, whether they are human or animal.
    Tune in to hear Dr. Lawlor's heartfelt stories and valuable advice on coping with pet loss. Learn how her work is providing comfort and support to others experiencing grief. This episode is essential listening for anyone who has ever loved and lost a pet.

My experience was completely different.

I have to tell you that I wish my husband went as peacefully as you say when they are passing from something that is not from a degeneration of the brain. My husband was in hospice for 5 months before he passed with Stage IV colon cancer that did not spread to his brain. He was completely with it mentally and knew exactly what was going on and never slipped in or out of consciousness. He went what the Hospice nurse said was cardiac arrest for almost 18 hours and was yelling my name as best he could trying to say help with his body being so restless and trying to get up and move around while having the "death rattle." it seemed like eternity and I could do nothing to help him as he gasped for air....I was under the impression it would be peacuful as you and many others perceived it would be. After that many hours he finally stopped being so restless but his eyes were open the entire time and during the death rattle he kept trying to call my name as if he was beyond terrified. I left the room for 30 seconds came back in and he was gone. It has been 8 months and I see that night every night in my dreams as he did not go peacefully and was fully conscious until his last breath. I have been searching for similarities with people who have passed like him so please help me understand this. My name is Shanon and my email is Smueller619@aol.com I beg you. Thank you for your time and keep in mind this isn't a bad review it was a bad ending for the love of my life. please please send me an email with your thoughts.
