‘This Hallowed Wilderness’ With Writer, Grief Coach & Death Midwife, Naila Francis

On this episode of The Power of Love Show with TJ and Taj Jackson we welcome special guest, Naila Francis. Naila Francis is a writer, grief coach, death midwife and ordained interfaith minister. She holds space and offers ritual for people at many of life's sacred thresholds, including birth, marriage, death and other transitional passages. Her work is often informed by her love of poetry, the gifts of healing rooted in nature and community and her commitment to expanding our grief literacy and death awareness. She is a founding member of Salt Trails, a Philadelphia collective making grief public and visible through community rituals. For many years, Naila worked as a journalist, interviewing prominent artists from all backgrounds. She found her way to the vocations of companioning others through grief and dying after suffering several personal losses in her own life, including the consecutive deaths of a beloved father figure and her father. She considers herself an ardent joy enthusiast and brings a compassionate presence and open heart to all she does.
