@reverentridge.orgToni Morrison's 'Beloved' remains one of the most challenged books in America, yet its exploration of ancestral grief & historical trauma is unmatched.
Grief isn't just individual. It lingers and moves through generations. 🧵 1/2
@reverentridge.orgGrief isn't always quiet—sometimes sudden trauma demands a movement.
Angie Thomas' 'The Hate U Give' centers on the sudden loss of a Black teenager & how a community mourns through collective trauma. 🧵 1/2
@reverentridge.orgBanned book highlight: "Tuck Everlasting" by Natalie Babbitt. 🌿
Often challenged for themes of death, this classic reflects a core truth of doula care: mortality gives life meaning, and death is a natural cycle—not something to fear or censor.
@reverentridge.orgMusic has a way of holding our deepest memories and values. 🎶
Comment below with one song that must be on your life's final playlist.

@reverentridge.orgAs a #DeathDoula, I hold space for losses that society tries to ignore. Grief doesn't disappear just because it makes others uncomfortable. We honor the living and the dead by refusing to censor grief.
If this (or any other) book has helped you navigate an unacknowledged loss, let me know
@reverentridge.orgIt also allows us to plan with intention, cherish chosen family, and live fully right now.
As death doulas, our priority is to ensure that each dying person's story and identity are fully witnessed. 🤍 2/2
@reverentridge.orgPost 2/3 I remember that I had just turned 9 when my grandfather bought it for me on a visit to a small, local bookstore. Reading it moved me in a way I hadn't yet learned a book could, or that I even had words for at the time
@reverentridge.orgNot big on selfies (#GenX lol) but with a birthday on the horizon, why not? Working with mortality teaches you to wear bright colors, celebrate getting older, & savor being right here, right now. Grateful for another trip around the sun! ☀️
@made-sick.orgI know …

@deathdoulapros.bsky.socialNo law requires the phone call before the hand is ready to let go. A death doula holds that pause open long enough for a family to use it. #DeathDoula #EndOfLifeCare #GriefSupport
@reverentridge.orgHave you talked with your loved ones or chosen family about your end-of-life healthcare preferences? Where are you in the process?. 🤍 #endoflifeplanning #deathdoula
1️⃣ Yes, all set & documented!
2️⃣ Started the conversation.
3️⃣ Not sure where to start.

@reverentridge.orgCurrently reading Briefly, Perfectly Human by Alua Arthur, and the quote deeply resonated with me. It captures the heartbeat of why I want to do this work: everyone deserves to be truly seen and valued, especially as they approach the end of life. 🤍
@ibloud.xyzHumanity is when a new expression of #art is born from tragedy
Where do you reclaim your sanity?
@reverentridge.orgCommon question: Do I need a doula if I already have hospice?
Hospice provides essential medical, nursing, and clinical care. Doulas offer non-medical emotional, practical, and holistic support—working alongside hospice to keep your wishes centered. 🤍
@reverentridge.orgPost 2/3 I can give away exactly ONE of each of these services this month:
If you or someone you know will be passing:
📋 1x Planning Session
🌳 1x Legacy Project Support Session
If you and others have recently suffered a loss:
🤝 1x Family Support Session
@ibloud.xyzI AM NOT ALONE
Neither Are You

@reverentridge.orgPost 2/2 They may feel ashamed for grieving, or even gaslit into thinking they “shouldn't be so upset”. So let’s just agree: grief doesn't require social permission to exist. The absence of someone else's approval doesn't make the loss less devastating to experience.
