À propos de cet audio

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Yarrow Magdalena, a maker, writer, and grief companion living on the east coast of Scotland. Yarrow shares their journey into death work, from training as a death doula in 2019 to navigating profound personal loss after the unexpected passing of their mother in July 2024.

Together, we share what it means to tend to grief through handmade practices using thread, cloth, and ritual, and how creativity can become a sacred space for healing.

In this episode, we explore:

How Yarrow came to death work before experiencing major personal loss, and how their practice has deepened since their mother’s passing
The similarities and differences between various types of shock and grief — from a life-changing accident to sudden loss
The powerful practice of creating memorial quilts using loved ones’ textiles and clothing
Why hand-stitching and textile work can be such healing practices during grief
The importance of naming our identities, and how different aspects of who we are carry their own grief
Practical ways to be an activist for folks who are disabled, living remotely, or have limited capacity
Simple rituals that help, like creating a physical grief space in your home or working with tarot

Yarrow also shares touching memories of their mother Marina, the gift of their last goodbye, and how they balance running two podcasts (Grief Glimmers and The Kind Business Podcast) while honoring their own grief journey.

Be sure to head over to Grief Glimmers to listen to my episode on Yarrow's podcast.
