“It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth, and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.”

-Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

In this meaningful conversation, Jodi Peterson-Stigers shares how Interfaith Sanctuary’s new shelter is supporting medically fragile guests and providing end-of-life care with dignity and compassion.

 

This episode is a powerful reminder that even in hardship, hope exists in quiet, human moments—through care, presence, and the belief that every life has value.

Our February conversation was inspired by the powerful book Grief Is a Sneaky Bitch by Lisa Keefauver, a social worker, therapist, and widow who challenges the idea that grief should be tidy or something we simply “move on” from.

 

Death Over Tea creates space for honest conversations about grief, loss, and love. These gatherings offer a gentle, supportive environment for reflection, connection, and a deeper understanding of how grief can deepen our appreciation for life.
