  • A Christian Perspective on MAID

    A Christian Perspective on MAID
    2026/07/20
    In this episode of *Stronger Together*, Anne Caldwell and Michael Dixon welcome Larry Worthen, Executive Director of the Christian Medical and Dental Association of Canada. Larry shares his background in law, public service, and Christian ministry, along with CMDA's work supporting doctors and dentists as they seek to live out their faith in their professional lives. The conversation explores CMDA's opposition to medical assistance in dying (MAID). Larry discusses concerns about patient vulnerability, the changing role of medical professionals, conscience protections for health-care workers, and the anticipated 2027 expansion of MAID eligibility for people whose sole underlying condition is mental illness. He also argues for stronger access to palliative care, mental-health supports, and services for people living with disabilities. Larry also reflects on the pastoral consequences MAID can have for families, churches, and funeral professionals. He describes the complicated grief that can follow a MAID death—particularly within faith communities—and offers perspective on how clergy, caregivers, and loved ones can approach these deeply personal situations with compassion, clarity, and care. Behind this podcast is Funeral Professionals Peer Support (FPPS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing meaningful peer support and resources for funeral professionals. FPPS exists to foster connection, understanding, and care within a profession that often supports others before itself.

  • The Grave Woman: Redefining Funeral Practices with Cultural Awareness

    The Grave Woman: Redefining Funeral Practices with Cultural Awareness
    2026/06/22
    Most people see death care as a somber industry rooted in tradition, but Joél Simone Maldonado, known as The Grave Woman, is rewriting the narrative. A licensed funeral director and embalmer with a vibrant multicultural background, she's on a mission to bring radical inclusivity, cultural authenticity, and community-driven grief to the forefront. Joelle's story—from growing up in a culturally rich Gullah Geechee community, to breaking barriers as a Black woman in death care—reveals how systemic ignorance and racism continue to shape the industry, and more importantly, how those barriers can be dismantled.In this powerful episode, Joelle shares candid insights about her journey navigating a predominantly White industry, fighting tokenization, and advocating for culturally competent death and grief care. You'll discover how her online community and the establishment of the Multicultural Death and Grief Care Academy are creating ripples for change—empowering professionals to serve diverse communities with greater sensitivity and understanding. She explores critical issues like the widespread need for cultural nuance in embalming, the impact of segregation on care practices, and how trauma from systemic racism persists in how we grieve.
