Death of silencing conversations. has a way
It sits in the corners of our lives, whispered about but rarely invited into the light. For Katie Cosgrove, founder of the doula practice Grief is Good, this silence is something to challenge, not accept. As a trauma-informed care specialist, Death Doula, and grief coach, Cosgrove’s mission is to help people navigate the uncharted waters of loss with intention, grace, and even beauty. Through her work, she creates space for what so many fear: open conversations about grief, death, and the tender moments that surround both. Cosgrove’s practice, Grief is Good, offers a range of services to support individuals and families. She works as a grief coach, helping people embrace their grief as a natural and meaningful part of life, guiding them toward creating new memories with loved ones who have passed. In this conversation, Cosgrove opens up about what it means to create a “good death,” the importance of healthy grieving, and how she helps others find light in their darkest moments.
