Deadly Serious Conversations

Episode 47 - The importance of ceremony and ritual in grief and loss

07 Oct 2025

Description

In this episode of Deadly Serious Conversations, I’m joined by Megan Sheldon, a cultural mythologist,  a humanist celebrant and end-of-life doula based in North Vancouver, Canada. Megan has a deep understanding of the power of ceremony and ritual, especially in times of grief and loss. In many cultures, rituals once played a central role in marking life’s changes, yet in our modern world, they are often forgotten, even though they come so naturally to us.In this conversation, we talk about why rituals matter, how they give us stability in times of uncertainty and how they can help us embody the emotions we feel during life’s most challenging moments. Megan also shares the inspiration behind Be Ceremonial , the world’s first guided ritual and ceremony app and how simple rituals can help us connect with ourselves, each other and the world around us.In the words of Dr Alan Wolfelt: “When words are inadequate, have a ritual.”Be Ceremonial Be Ceremonial instagramSeeking Ceremony
