In a culture that fears death, Alua Arthur calls for us to ask the question, “What must I do to be at peace with myself so that I may live presently and die gracefully?” Alua is a death doula and founder of Going with Grace, an end-of-life planning organization. Grace and Lily explore the realities of death and loss: that it is inevitable, and doesn't have to be scary.
