About Jett Koda:
I am an MSW working in hospice and a practitioner of all that is death and dying: grief work, trauma, loss (cultural, personal, familial), intergenerational healing, and ancestral work.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
My wish to work more deeply with death and dying deepened after losing my first baby daughter only five days after her birth. Not only actual death, but all transitions are my most beloved work including spiritual initiations, gender transitions, relation~shifts and letting go ceremonial work.
Thoughts for sharing:
“We can harness the awareness of death to appreciate the fact that we are alive, to encourage self-exploration, to clarify our values, to find meaning, and to generate positive action. It is the impermanence of life that gives us perspective. As we come in contact with life’s precarious nature, we also come to appreciate its preciousness. Then we don’t want to waste a minute. We want to enter our lives fully and use them in a responsible way. Death is a good companion on the road to living well and dying without regret.”
