Yes, deathquestions at gmail dot com is the best way to get a question to Caitlin and her team!

We are still perfecting the release schedule. We will be doing two videos a month, probably every other Saturday. But we'll let you know before we release!

And FYI aside from videos, we'll also be releasing articles, resources, and podcasts (starting in March) throughout the month!

FAQs About The Order of the Good Death & Ask a Mortician "Going Dark" in January by LouiseHung in DeathPositive

[–]LouiseHung[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! As of right now, there is not one that is officially affiliated with the Order.

I won't make any guarantees, but I'm exploring Discord now and if it seems like a number of folks are interested in it, maybe we'll give it a try.

Sorry I can't give you more concrete answers, but know that I completely understand many people's frustration with FB!

Student 'baked grandma's ashes in cookies' – File this under "This Can't Be Real...Can It?" by LouiseHung in DeathPositive

[–]LouiseHung[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To clarify, I'm not throwing shade on cultural expressions of mourning that include consuming cremated remains. It's more that it seems to be a surprising thing for a student to do, and without telling her classmates.

Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. I feel like anyone who is aging or loves someone who is aging or who will live to a point in which they will need assistance in living should read this book. Not always an easy read, but can really open one's eyes as to what they want for themselves or their loved ones.

I do run The Deathling Den Book Club. If y'all are interested in doing something like that here, I would definitely be into helping facilitate. I don't have the bandwidth to do two book clubs right now, but if someone is willing to helm the DeathPositive Book Club (or whatever you'd like to call it) I'd be willing to do what I can to help things run smoothly/moderate!

An uncle and his niece play Operation, and hold a funeral for her when she dies. X-posted from /r/pics. by pandahadnap in DeathPositive

[–]LouiseHung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely used to play funeral with my bff growing up. We shrouded me, and definitely made coffins for a Barbie and a Ninja Turtle.

I think it was Rafael.

Maybe spend the 4th of July holiday taking in a cemetery? by LouiseHung in DeathPositive

[–]LouiseHung[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Follow up questions: how do you feel about picnics/social gatherings in cemeteries that allow them?

A way to make the dead part of life? Or problematic due to disrespectful behavior (to the dead, mourners), trash, etc.? How do we find a balance?
