Shared Paths Doula

Shared Paths Doula Services, along with Beautiful Existence Doula Services, are excited to share our first Whispering Between Worlds podcast of the year.
This episode goes into detail about what happened to our very own Renee Robinson's family during the holiday season.
We discuss what happened, what could have been done differently, and how, even as an End-of-Life Doula, you can feel helpless.

Made a couple pieces of memorial art with my mom's ashes to keep her close, a ring and a medallion to hang in my car.

We are looking to start off the New Year with a fantastic guest on the Whispering Between Worlds Podcast!
On January 28th, 2026, our episode with the one and only Suzanne B O'Brien from Doulagivers will be our guest!

Over the next few weeks, we will speak more about the great things Suzanne has achieved!

A cup of cocoa doesn’t fix the holidays — but it can offer a moment to pause.
This season is joyful for some, heavy for others, and both can exist at the same time.
Wherever you find yourself, you’re not doing it wrong.

🌿 When a Grieving Loved One Joins You for the Holidays – Part 2

On the Whispering Between Worlds podcast, end-of-life doulas Adam and Renee chat with psychologist Amanda Robinson, who shares her gentle approach to preparing for holiday dinners and gatherings when someone who is grieving will be present.

They explore simple but meaningful ways to show care—acknowledging loss without pressure, setting expectations ahead of time, offering practical support, using a loved one’s name, and creating space for both tears and laughter.

It sounds simple, but it matters. Please feel free to tune in to Part 2 for helpful guidance on how to show up with understanding this holiday season. 💙 🎧
