In this deeply compassionate and grounding conversation, we sit down with Dr. Sarah Kerr, death doula, sacred death care educator, and transformative learning specialist, to explore a topic many of us quietly fear yet inevitably face: how to meet the end of life with presence, clarity, and care.

Sarah shares how end-of-life support is not about fixing or rushing the process, but about creating space for meaningful decisions, honest conversations, and gentler goodbyes reminding us that grief, love, and uncertainty are all natural parts of the journey.

Dr. Sarah Kerr has spent many years supporting individuals and families through the emotional, spiritual, and practical dimensions of dying, death, and grief, offering education and compassionate guidance rooted in both scholarship and lived experience.

Her background includes:

• PhD in Transformative Learning with a focus on death education and meaning-making
• Training and practice as a death doula and sacred death care educator
• Facilitation of systemic constellations and rites of passage work
• Teaching and mentoring in conscious dying, grief, and end-of-life care
• Integration of ritual, spirituality, and contemplative practices into death care
• Support for individuals, families, and communities navigating loss and transition

Before dedicating herself fully to sacred death care, Sarah’s academic and professional path centred on adult education and transformative learning. Her work evolved through a deep calling to bring greater awareness, compassion, and presence to how we understand death helping people meet life’s final transition with meaning, dignity, and care.
