Book SynopsisHow can we live boldly at any age?This is the question Lyn Slater, known on Instagram as ''Accidental Icon'', sets out to answer in this hopeful and empowering memoir.When Lyn started her fashion blog, Accidental Icon, at 61, she soon realised that people were flocking to her account for more than just style advice. Her readers had found in her an alternative model of older life: someone who defied stereotypes, refused to become invisible and proved that all women can be relevant and take risks, no matter what their age.Exploring the process of reinvention, Lyn shows readers that while you can''t control everything, what you can control is the way you think about your age and the creative ways you respond to the changes in your mind and body as they happen. Rather than trying to meet standards of youth and beauty as a measure of successful ageing, Lyn promotes more inclusive and empowering criteria by which to judge our older selves.<

Book SynopsisA practical and compassionate guide to physically, emotionally, and spiritually caring for the dying. Just as we might prepare a nest for one about to give birth, so can we lovingly prepare a nest for one who is dying. In this practical and compassionate guide, death doula educator Anne-Marie Keppel incorporates ancient and modern death doula techniques, mindfulness practices, and herbal support to show how anyone can physically, emotionally, and spiritually care for the dying, whether at home, in hospice, or even in the ICU. Seeking to demystify the dying process, she explains what the body physically undergoes during the end of life and shares techniques to physically care for the dying, including methods to assist bedridden individuals. She presents practices for emotional soothing, breathing techniques to reduce anxiety and pain, and ways to reduce stress during the active dying process. She shares ceremony and energetic boundary guidelines, Reiki and ancestral support techniques, and herbal care for nourishing and healing on a spirit level. Providing support for caregivers and loved ones as well, Anne-Marie explores self-care methods for moving with grief, ideas for “things to do” when there is nothing to do, and mindfulness practices for contemplating your own mortality. She also offers visualisations and techniques for talking with children about death and dying. Sharing glimpses into the world of spirit to reveal the poignancy of the dying process, the author shows that death is a sacred rite of passage we all experience.Trade Review“Anne-Marie uses the image of nest building to introduce ways to build protective circles of care for dying persons and their loved ones. Her writing is tender and loving. She draws on the insights of psychology, spirituality, and ancient wisdom and also includes a discussion of practical care issues stemming from her years of experience. It is refreshing to encounter an author sensitive to the need for literature on end-of-life issues to confront its rather privileged perspective and begin to address the cultural, class, gender, and racial disparities in end-of-life care. Death Nesting will be a valuable support for families facing the loss of a loved one.” * Judith L. Lief, Buddhist teacher, student and editor of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and author of *“Anne-Marie has gifted us with an informative, holistic, and comprehensive guide to tending to those who are in the dying season of their lives. The practical guidance, mindfulness practices, herbal recommendations, and storytelling offered in Death Nesting empower us to support one another to create a dying experience that reflects our unique lived experience.” * Aditi Sethi, M.D., hospice and palliative care physician, end-of-life doula, and executive director *“A resource guide that will transcend your view on death, dying, and how to be in companionship with Death. This beautiful, sensitive guide is filled with knowledge delivered with tenderness and takes the reader through a journey of learning about stages of death, ways caregivers can be supportive during the transition process, caregiver and client meditations, and calming practices. Anne-Marie has gently normalized a subject seldom addressed, so openly. Written for anyone who may be curious about death work, caregivers, and for all of us who will have that familiar, yet unfamiliar, knock on the door from the intimate stranger we call Death.” * Sonya-Prajna Patrick, Ph.D., death-tending doula, magick/conjure worker, and bone reader *“Anne-Marie’s way of navigating death and grief is intentional, nourishing, loving, meditative, and healing. With an attitude of humility and reverence for this sacred passage, her words evoke a sensuous experience for the reader, as she brings to life the essence of death doula service. I highly recommend Death Nesting to anyone interested in mindfully holding space for their loved one or for themselves through the process of death.” * Jade Brunel, founder of WAO Tea and author of Tea, Remembering the Essence of Life *“Death Nesting is a compassionate manual on approaching death consciously—both our own death and the deaths of those we love. Through the pages of this helpful book, death educator and doula Anne-Marie Keppel gives readers the tools needed to turn the end-of-life process into a beautiful and healing experience. Filled with love and spirit this is a book I will be recommending to my clients whether they are facing death or grieving the loss of a loved one.” * Salicrow, psychic medium and author of Spirit Speaker *“As explained in Death Nesting, dying can be a time of unknowing while also a journey best guided by deep wisdom and trust—both of which are bolstered by Keppel’s anecdotes and explanations. This mindfully constructed book of knowledge gently encourages readers to let go of rigid logic and control as well as embrace all that can be anticipated during the end of life, covering an array of topics from the ineffable to the highly practical and so much in between.” * Francesca Lynn Arnoldy, community doula and author of The Death Doula’s Guide to Living Fully *“Keppel’s heart-centered, community-based philosophy establishes her as a leader in the emerging holistic deathcare movement. I recommend Death Nesting to all aspiring death doulas, medical professionals serving in end-of-life spaces, hospice volunteers, and, most especially, home caregivers. This is a bedside companion for the tender journey as we walk one another home.” * Jade Adgate, death midwife and curator at the Farewell Library *“Anne-Marie offers loads of wise and practical guidance for helping, holding, and mindful presence through all that this passage brings for the doula, the dying, and for those who must let them go. Whatever your belief about the afterlife, whatever your previous experience with death and dying, this book invites you to the crossroads, where life meets death—a sacred place of deep gravitas, transformation, and remembrance.” * Fearn Lickfield, director of the Green Mountain Druid School and Dreamland Sanctuary *“This is the book those who gravitate toward or find themselves thrust into the death space need. Exploring age-old territory with fresh eyes, Anne-Marie Keppel has encapsulated for us the essence of active caring in full practical and loving description.” * Lee Webster, funeral reform advocate and director of New Hampshire Funeral Resources & Education *“Death Nesting is refreshing, enlightening, and captivating. It dares to talk deeply and thoroughly about a subject that’s barely touched in our society, yet it’s a reality that we are all going to have to deal with. This book gives the reader a thoughtful and human perspective on confronting death.” * Rafael Olivares, M.D., volunteer for Doctors of the World *Death Nesting: The Heart-Centered Practices of a Death Doula provides an excellent addition to a growing cannon of works revolving around the field of Death Care. Anne-Marie Keppel presents the subject in a practical yet engaging manner that draws the reader into awareness. This is a book that encourages active learning and participation on the part of caregivers and death doulas who seek to assist in the honorable act of being present and holding space for the dying. * Clio Arjana, FacingNorth.net *Table of ContentsForeword by Karen Wyatt, M.D. An Introduction to Death Nesting About This Book One Beyond Advance Directives Take NotesMore than Just Paperwork Two Preparing the Nest Establishing the Protective ShellPreparing the Inner NestCaregiving’s Inner CircleSecret NestingWeathering Our Dying Three Dying Is a Sensory ExperienceHearingSmellTasteSightTouch Four What the Physical Body Does during the Dying Process Aches and PainsTemperatureBreathing and Heart RateEating, Digestion, and EliminationHandwashingWound CareSponge BathingMoisturizingBedding and Lying in BedWhat to Pack in a Hospital Bag Five Mind, Spirit, and Emotion in the Dying Process Suggestions for Mental SoothingPsychedelics and Virtual Reality ListeningAncestor ComfortsTying Together a TimelineSleep, Rest, and SeparationTime, Space, and RhythmSpiritual SupportReiki for the DyingA Time for ShrinesSix Discomforts during Caregiving Expressing the Very DifficultWords Are Not Always What Is NeededWhen What Is Happening Is Against Your DesiresWhat to Do When There Is Nothing to DoLanguage Barriers in the Dying ProcessMedical Aid in DyingComing Upon an Accident or Sudden Death Seven Talking with Children about Death and Dying Tiny Deaths and Big DeathsA Child’s Tool KitPet and Animal Deaths Eight After the Last Breath Home Funerals and Body CareShould the DeadAttend Their Own Funerals?The Good FuneralHerbs for Remembrance and CeremonyMoving with GriefMeditation for Dissolving into the ElementsAppendix: The Ancient and Modern Death DoulaResources for Death, Dying, and Stretching Your MindAbout the AuthorIndex

Book SynopsisIn Ordinary Deaths, Dr. Samuel LeBaron reminds us of our need for human connection when experiencing death and loss. Based on more than thirty years of working with children and adults dying from cancer, LeBaron’s memoir contains stories of longing, confusion, love, and humility—often woven together. Sharing recollections from his childhood in rural Alberta and experiences from his career, LeBaron reveals a life of vital, intimate connection with others. His employment at a morgue during medical school, his early years as a clinical psychologist, and later careers in primary care and hospice in California, all translate into compassion and a deep understanding of death. Writing as he faces his own terminal illness—Stage IV lung cancer—LeBaron helps readers find acceptance and solace.Trade ReviewSamuel LeBaron … has collected his lessons from a lifelong dance with death into a profound memoir…. LeBaron’s recollections brim with emotional insights, celebrate the virtue of honesty between caregiver and patient, and authentically depict the value of letting each person find their particular way to peace and acceptance…. Ordinary Deaths reminds us that each individual’s path to death is as different and unique as their own life has been. In our death-denying world, that is extraordinary indeed.” John Terauds, Quill & Quire, August 31, 2022 [Full review at https://quillandquire.com/review/ordinary-deaths-stories-from-memory/]"Writing [Ordinary Deaths] was a 15-year process made all the more poignant by the fact that LeBaron is, himself, dying. Two and a half years ago, LeBaron was diagnosed with stage-4 lung cancer…. LeBaron’s ability to hold space for the uncertainty, mystery and doubts we have about dying is anything but ordinary." Deb Cummings, Alumni News, October 10, 2022 [Full article at https://alumni.ucalgary.ca/news/ordinary-deaths-anything]"Through LeBaron’s stories and the filter of his imagination, we witness his experiences as psychologist, physician and person. His clinical testimony makes us reflect: We may not want to look at death, but we can’t look away from it either. Our fascination with the death of others is often accompanied by the denial of our own death.... But the book is more than a memoir of how to face death: Ordinary Deaths is about how to face life."

Book SynopsisOur world is awakening to the fact that the old version of strength, based on dominance, force, and greed, can no longer sustain us. Yet in Finland, among fierce winters and nightless summers, there has long been a different understanding of strength - one that seeks to balance resolve with reason, and values winning gracefully over winning at all cost. This philosophy is called sisu, and it is quickly becoming recognized as a guiding light through times of crisis. In Gentle Power, Finnish-born author Emilia Elisabet Lahti presents the first comprehensive book on sisu as a universal quality and outlines a path to putting its principles into action harmoniously. Though modern research has consistently shown the benefits of “soft” skills, we often equate gentleness with weakness - and habitually elevate the toxic use of power. What makes “gentle power” so effective is that it is based on sisu and other time-tested approaches - not just for learning new tools but for personally embodying balanced, discerning, and empathic forms of strength. “Imagine if leadership, parenting, activism, and even politics were devoid of harshness and ignorance,” Lahti writes. The idea is extraordinary, yet sisu shows us it is possible. With Gentle Power, you’ll discover a gateway to healthy strength and fortitude that will elevate your life - and help you become part of a new era of collective transformation.
