"Let's talk about death, because life is urgent." -- Alex AldarondoWhat if facing death honestly is how we learn to live more fully?In this episode of Grief and Light™, Nina Rodriguez sits down with Alexander Aldarondo Jiménez, an end-of-life doula, educator, and founder of AMORir, Puerto Rico's first end-of-life doula collective. Joining from Puerto Rico, Alex explains what a death doula does, why dying has become so medicalized and transactional, and how communities can reclaim it as something we hold together.Nina brings her own lens. She recently lost her grandfather in Puerto Rico after he spent time in hospice, and she lost her 32-year-old brother suddenly. Together, they explore what grief-literate, death-literate care could look like.You will learn:What an end-of-life doula (death doula) is and how the role differs from hospice and palliative careWhy the body knows how to die, and how families can support the processAlex's four pillars of death education: social, cultural, legal, and mentalWhy advance directives matter and what happens without oneHow Amorir is redesigning the symbols, language, and rituals of death in Puerto RicoHow to talk about suicide, awareness, and prevention with nuanceWhy "amar y morir" (to love and to die) can coexistAlex's question for you: Does your family know what you would want at the end of life?About the GuestAlexander Aldarondo Jimenez is an end-of-life doula, educator, and founder of Amorir, Puerto Rico's first end-of-life doula collective. His work includes community workshops, end-of-life doula trainings, and a cultural redesign initiative that brings artists and creatives together to reimagine death in Puerto Rico.Key TakeawaysAn end-of-life doula provides non-medical support: planning, education, emotional presence, and community care circles.Most people seek help too late. Planning early, even in healthy years, protects both the dying person and the family.Few people know the legal side of death: advance directives, body disposition, death certificates, and inheritance.Over-medicalized death is tied to a wider loss of trust in our own inner wisdom.Talking about death can feel liberating, even joyful.Connect with Alexander Aldarondo and AmorirWebsite: amorir.orgInstagram: @amorirprFacebook: Amorir PRVirtual sessions via Zoom are available for people in the diaspora and the U.S. Alex is open to interviews and collaborations.A Note on Care:This episode includes a conversation about suicide.
