About Rebecca churt

Hi, I’m Rebecca, a death and grief worker, certified death doula, and the founder of The Grievery.

My life's work sits at the intersection of grief and spiritual care — tending the thresholds of change, loss, and death with presence, ritual, and an unflinching willingness to be with what is. I believe grief is not a problem to solve or a feeling to move past. It's a sacred, ongoing relationship and it deserves to be met with care, community, and compassion.

To me, death and grief work are about cultivating our capacity to be in these thresholds of change and loss, especially when things feel unbearable. It's about finding where we have agency, leaning into that, and supporting one another through it. It's about building our ability to be with discomfort, fear, and pain — while also reimagining what lives at the edges of possibility. And to quote Mara June: "it's about carrying the capacity for softness alongside our capacity for fierceness."

Through The Grievery, I've built a space for grief as something communal rather than solitary — a practice place where we can be witnessed and witness each other, speak what's usually unspeakable, and tend sorrow together. I'm also the author of Liminal: The Sacred Space Between — a guidebook for navigating life's most profound in-betweens (book forthcoming).

In reimagining what lives at the edges of possibility, I dream of new forms of end-of-life care – spaces where we come together to honor beginngings and endings to the fullest. My dreams are rooted in creating community care circles that integrate social justice and deathcare, encouraging deep reflection on the intrinsic values that bind us as human beings. 

I believe that death, spiritual and grief care must be a sanctuary, fostering genuine relationships and a circle of care where the structural inequities and harms in our current systems are actively examined, unlearned, and repaired. Together, we can create environments where the soul has space to breathe, grieve, and find solace – a welcoming, restorative spaces for all beings.
