***************

Annalouiza and Wakil offer classes on end-of-life planning, grief counseling, and interfaith (or no faith!) spiritual direction. If you are interested in any of these, please don't hesitate to contact us via email at endoflifeconvo@gmail.com.

In this podcast, we'll share people’s experiences with the end of life. We have reached out to experts in the field, front-line workers, as well as friends, neighbors, and the community, to have conversations about their experiences with death and dying. We have invited wonderful people to sit with us and share their stories with one another.

Our goal is to provide you with information and resources that can help us all navigate and better understand this important subject.

You can find us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and BlueSky. Additionally, we would appreciate your financial support, and you can subscribe by clicking the Subscribe button. Subscribers will be sent a dynamically updated end-of-life planning checklist and resources document. They will have access to premium video podcasts on many end-of-life planning and support subjects. Subscribers at $8/month or higher will be invited to a special live, online conversation with Annalouiza and Wakil and are eligible for a free initial session of grief counseling or interfaith spiritual direction.

We would love to hear your feedback and stories. You can email us at endoflifeconvo@gmail.com.

We want to thank Wakil and his wife's children for the wonderful song that begins our programs. We also want to acknowledge that the music we are using was composed and produced by Charles Hiestand. We also acknowledge that we live and work on unceded indigenous peoples' lands. We thank them for their generations of stewardship, which continues to this day, and honor them by doing all we can to create a sustainable planet and support the thriving of all life, both human and more than human.

  • Traditional Irish Revenant Songs with Elizabeth Healy

    Traditional Irish Revenant Songs with Elizabeth Healy
    2025/08/13

    Send us a text

    In this conversation, Elizabeth discusses her deep connection to Irish music, particularly revenant songs, which explore themes of death, grief, and resilience. She shares personal experiences with death and how they shaped her understanding of life and loss. The discussion highlights the importance of community in the grieving process and the therapeutic role of traditional songs in coping with grief. Elizabeth also reflects on her journey as a singer and the significance of music in her life, emphasizing the interconnectedness of life and death.

    Elizabeth joined us all the way from Westport on the west coast of Ireland, for this episode!

    Recently, Elizabeth developed a fascination with an important, though largely unexplored aspect of Irish musical and cultural heritage: the genre of traditional songs known as Revenant Songs. These songs, deeply rooted in Irish and international folklore, narrate tales of the dead returning, mostly in their full human form, to resolve unfinished earthly matters.

    Here are links to two of the songs, as examples

    1) The Unquiet Grave, sung by Luke Kelly

    2) The Wife of Usher's Well, sung by Karine Polwart

    The Wife Of Usher's Well by Karine Polwart


    Book - My Father’s Wake: How the Irish Teach us to Live, Love, and Die by Kevin Toolis

    The Keening Festival in Mulranny, about an hour's drive north of Westport, Ireland.
