Death Out Loud is now Foul Weather Friends!

We are Foul Weather Friends, a death care collective that is focused on helping all people, especially nontraditional families and lifestyles, with the liberatory practice of preparedness for end-of-life issues.When the going gets tough, you need a Foul Weather Friend by your side to help navigate. Someone with experience, resources, and a focus on your whole group's wellbeing.

This care and planning practice is a collaborative effort: a network of death care providers, estate planning attorneys, hospice nurses and social workers, educators, psychedelic practitioners, and more. This is Death Out Loud, brought into the new age of the collaborative, the matriarchal, the inclusive.

Our socials have rebranded too: find us at @wearefoulweatherfriends on IG. The seeds are in the ground and the sun is out. We're looking forward to growing with and supporting you and your loved ones as you navigate end-of-life planning.

The practice of preparing for our own death or the death of our loved ones can be not only a big relief, but a liberatory act that sends us deeper into living our lives more fully and in love.
