When the Universe whispers lessons of love and loss, are we ready to listen? Our latest conversation with Cheryle Maracle, a proud Mohawk woman, embraces just that – an odyssey through grief's shadows and the resilience it takes to emerge into the light. As Cheryle recounts the poignant chapters of her life, from the death of a sibling she never met to a family tragedy that echoes across generations, her spirit and wisdom wrap us in a blanket of empathy and understanding. Together, Cheryle and I unravel the significance of Mohawk funeral customs, the creation of personal memorials, and the shared humanity that binds us in moments of profound sorrow. The episode is framed by the nurturing roles of death and birth doulas, drawing symmetry in the eternal cycle of life. It's a reassurance that in the midst of our most vulnerable times, there is a community, a heritage, and a Universe affirming that we are safe and loved.
