The Dying are Still Living: an interview with Kimberly Wamba of Sacred Live Care Initiative
What if we stopped seeing those at the end of their lives as “almost dead”, and instead as “still living”?
Anne Kathryn speaks with Kimberly Wamba of Sacred Life Care Initiative, a Global Doula Project grant recipient in 2026. Sacred Life Care Initiative offers support to the dying and their caregivers in Canton, MI, free of charge.
Kimberly shares how death doulas can support the dying and their loved ones in asking difficult questions and facing hard truths, as well as simply offering them a chance to be raw and honest at this unique and tender time. She also offers her beautiful philosophy of relating to the dying as people who are just as much alive as she is.
