About This Space

Welcome. This is a space for endings, and for the love that lingers beyond them.

My name is Elsabe, and I walk with those who are preparing to leave this world—and with the loved ones learning to let go. I’m on the path to becoming a death doula, not because it’s easy, but because I’ve known the kind of grief that leaves you breathless.

I lost my grandson, Liam, to cancer when he was just five years old. That kind of sorrow doesn’t pass; it carves you. But in that hollowing, it also planted something sacred in me—a calling to sit with others in their moments of sorrow, silence, and surrender.

This blog is my journal, my offering, and my way of honoring Liam’s light. Here, you’ll find reflections on palliative care, death work, grief, healing, and the quiet holiness of presence. I write what I need to hear. I write to heal. And maybe, if you’re walking a similar path, my words will be a companion to yours.

For Liam. For all who are leaving. For those of us who stay and remember.
