How to Embrace Death with Love & Presence – with Sue Carl

Most of us avoid thinking about death. Not because it isn’t coming, but because it scares us. We don’t know how we’ll handle it. We don’t want to imagine life without the people we love. But what if the stories we tell ourselves about death are far from the reality?

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Sue Carl—author of Life, Death, and Snowflakes: No Two Are Alike. After witnessing her father’s passing, Sue was struck by how profoundly different the experience was from what she had imagined. Instead of fear, she found presence. Instead of despair, she found love. And instead of an ending, she found something she never expected—peace.

We explore:

1. The paradox of death—how it can be heartbreaking and deeply meaningful at the same time.
2. The strength we find in moments we never thought we could face.
3. The power of recording our experience—not just for ourselves, but for those who follow.
4. What happens when we let go of the fear of death and truly embrace what’s on offer.

This isn’t a conversation about loss. It’s a conversation about love, presence, and what it means to truly be there in life’s most defining moments.
