“By envisioning who I want to be on my deathbed, I invited life in.”
- Alua Arthur (a-lu-ah) Founder of Going with Grace, Death Doula, Recovering Lawyer, Perpetual Seeker of nothing to be found

What do an authentic life lived and death worth dying look like? How does sitting with the inevitable reality of our deaths impact our willingness to show up in the world as our most true selves so that when we meet our deaths; we are able to die empty?

In this episode of The Death & Grief Talk Podcast, I participate in a beautiful exchange with my death care colleague and founder of Going With Grace Alua Arthur . Alua Arthur is a death doula, recovering attorney, and the founder of Going with Grace, a death doula training and end-of-life planning organization that exists to support people as they answer the question, “What must I do to be at peace with myself so that I may live presently and die gracefully?”

Going with Grace works to improve and redefine the end-of-life experience for people rooted in every community using the individual lived experience as the foundation. Alua was a keynote speaker at EndWell 2019, and has been featured in the LA Times, Vogue, Refinery29, The Doctors, and InStyle. She is inspired by the gift of LIFE itself and is always on the quest for the best donuts and fried plantains! Alua Arthur is also the author of Briefly, Perfectly Human.
