Rosemary Raven Hearth

Welcome to Rosemary Raven Hearth.
I’m Erika Hall—a Death Doula, an advocate, a space-holder, and the heart behind this little corner of the world where we talk about the one thing we all share in common: our eventual crossing from life into death.

This space was born from a desire to soften the fear around death, to bring warmth and companionship to the edges of life, and to invite you—yes, you—into conversations that matter.

I believe death isn’t something to be avoided or whispered about. It’s sacred. It’s human. It deserves honesty, tenderness, and reverence. Whether you’re facing your own mortality, caring for someone at the end of life, grieving a loss, or simply curious—this hearth is for you.

Here at Rosemary Raven Hearth, I hold space for:
🌿 Courageous conversation
🌿 Healing touch and presence
🌿 Honoring the transition
🌿 Empowering you to speak your truth—at every stage of life

This blog will be a blend of reflection, education, storytelling, and invitation. I’ll write about end-of-life care, the doula role, ritual, grief, community, and the beauty of living more intentionally by embracing death as a natural part of life.

So… hello, world.
Let’s talk about the things that matter—together, at the hearth.

With warmth and reverence,
Erika
