Let's Talk About Death | A Conversation with Death Doula Crystal Flores
Updated: Oct 27
What if we made more space to talk about death? What might change if we approached dying, grief and the end of life with greater curiosity, compassion and connection?
Join me, Maari Falsetto, founder of Inner Alchemy, Treasures & Transformation in West Seattle, for an intimate Inner Alchemy Conversation with Crystal Flores, death doula, founder of The Grateful Death, and a beautiful part of the Inner Alchemy community.
In this conversation, we explore deathcare, the role of a death doula, and the importance of creating more meaningful conversations around death and dying. We talk about the ways we can support ourselves and the people we love through life's most tender transitions, make room for grief, and approach our own mortality with greater intention and awareness.
A death doula offers nonmedical support, guidance and compassionate presence to people and families navigating the end-of-life journey. Through education, emotional support, ritual and connection, death doulas help create space for people to feel seen, supported and honored during one of life's most profound experiences.
Crystal's work invites us to reconsider the way our culture approaches death and to remember that conversations about dying are also conversations about living. How do we want to spend our time here? How can we show up for one another when life becomes tender? And how might acknowledging impermanence help us live more fully?
Whether you're curious about becoming a death doula, seeking end-of-life support for a loved one, navigating grief, exploring deathcare, or simply wanting to feel more comfortable talking about mortality, this conversation offers an invitation to listen, reflect and get curious.
At Inner Alchemy, we believe death is not a subject to hide away. It is part of the human experience, deserving of compassion, community and meaningful conversation.
Come explore the mystery of life and death with us.
