Lessons from the Dying is a companion for those walking beside loss, a book born from years of sitting at the bedside of the dying and listening to what they most wanted the living to know.
Through poetic reflection and real encounters from her work as a death doula, Ash Embla invites readers into the quiet, transformative space where endings become teachers. These pages explore what death reveals about love, belonging, forgiveness, and what it means to live fully awake to impermanence.
Each chapter is a meditation, a reminder that dying is not separate from living, but part of the same sacred thread. From the wisdom of the body to the softening of the heart, this book offers stories and reflections that meet grief with reverence, truth, and tenderness.
For caregivers, seekers, and anyone who has faced loss, Lessons from the Dying is both an offering and a guide, an invitation to live with more presence, courage, and grace.
