We are not meant to die and grieve alone; we need fellowship to truly farewell.
Death Midwifery is a dignified, holistic, and contemplative approach to tending death and grief. In fellowship, I companion the dying and the grieving as they say “farewell”. Together, we remember this ancient and sacred tradition.
Who I am
My name is Jade Adgate and I am a Death Midwife. Serving aging family members alongside my growing babies, I developed a reverence for the bookends of the human experience, birth, and death. This perspective forms the stance I bring into the work I now do as a death midwife: the belief that sacred, holistic and dignified death is a right every human being is entitled to.
Death Midwifery is an ancient and sacred tradition.
I walk alongside the dying and the grieving within my community. In fellowship, we tend to your death and grief. In farewell, I hold you and your loved ones in warmth and compassion, every step of the way. Together, we restore integrity to the sacred unfolding of death and grief as we remember how to tend ourselves holistically and contemplatively.
Serving the greater Nashville area.
From East Nashville to Spring Hill—I serve families all across Davidson and Williamson Counties and hold groups from Fairview to Columbia. I also offer many services virtual.
