Beyond the Loss Podcast

Season 2 – Episode #5 – Kelly Hurley

Rituals and ceremonies help define our lives. There are so many rituals for new babies – first-month photos, baby showers – but none for when a pregnancy ends in a loss. This week, Aditi and Danyelle speak with Kelly Hurley, a Life-Cycle Funeral Celebrant, about her practice of providing space and structure for grieving families to celebrate and process their loss through ritual.
