In Good Company is a network of colleagues across Canadian death care, forming now.
Funeral directors, hospice and palliative teams, death doulas, grief counsellors, celebrants, social workers, faith leaders, educators, and everyone in between.
Join us. You're in good company.The library is organized around the people who use it. Step through the door that sounds like your days, and find writing chosen for the work you actually do.
You are with people before, during, and after a death.
You sit with particular losses, and the people carrying them.
You help people prepare, understand, and navigate.
Everyone at this table does the same essential thing: they hold space for people in the hardest moments of their lives.
Some of us came to this work through training. Some through a calling they could not fully explain. Some through a loss that changed the direction of a life. However you arrived, you have stood in the same rooms and carried the same weight, and you deserve colleagues who understand it without needing it explained. Whatever your role, and whatever letters do or do not follow your name, you belong here. That is the only credential this community checks.
Every week we read the research, the reporting, and the conversations moving through death care, grief, and end-of-life work, and we send you the pieces worth your time. What was found, why it matters to the work you do, and one question worth sitting with. Written from a Canadian perspective, for the people doing this work here.
No noise. No selling. Nothing urgent. A letter from colleagues, for colleagues.
In Good Company publishes writing by the people who do this work. If you have something to say to your colleagues, whether it comes from hospice nights, doula practice, the counselling room, the funeral home, the classroom, or the parking lot conversations in between, we want to read it.
If you have written something your colleagues should see, or found something they should read, send it along. A link, a full draft, or a half-formed idea all count. Everything that comes in gets read, and you will always hear back.
