The Obituary
Because life is happening now.
A guided reflective writing experience exploring mortality, meaning and how you want to live from this moment forward.
Pre-recorded self-paced workshop — $148
You can build a meaningful life and still feel estranged from it — capable, accomplished, and slowly losing touch with your own limits, desires, or sense of aliveness.
Sometimes the disconnection arrives dramatically. Other times, it happens so gradually it’s difficult to notice.
The Obituary is a space to pause long enough to look at your life from a different vantage point — not through the lens of productivity or performance, but through honest attention to what actually matters.

"At the beginning I was wondering when we were going to address being dead. At the end, I realized the work instead put exclamations on all the ways I wanted to be alive, now. That's a lot more useful."
— Angela B.
The experience unfolds through guided meditations, contemplative writing passages and reflective prompts exploring the shape of your life.
It builds toward writing a first draft of your obituary — not as an ending, but as a way of seeing your life more clearly while you’re still living it.
There is space for integration and return.
Deeply human, The Obituary doesn’t ask for more than what’s already within you.
Inside The Obituary
Approximately two hours of guided video content, two original guided meditations with visualization and somatic grounding elements, reflective writing prompts throughout, a thoughtfully designed 32-page pdf workbook, examples from Michelle’s own obituary writing process, and lifetime access to the fully private self-paced experience.
The experience unfolds at a spacious pace with on-screen guidance and soft melodic background music throughout.

“Writing my own Obituary was unexpectedly life-giving. It ended up being less about death, and more about revealing how I want to live.”
— Renee P.
This experience often resonates with people standing at a threshold — exhausted by the pace of their lives, questioning inherited definitions of success, moving through transition, facing illness or loss, or sensing that something essential has been neglected beneath the inertia of everyday life.
No experience with meditation, journaling or death work is required.
Only curiosity and a willingness to meet yourself honestly.
About Michelle
Michelle A M Miller is a coach, interdisciplinary artist, writer and INELDA-trained End-of-Life Doula. Her work explores memory, mortality and meaning through reflective practice and somatic awareness.
Through her studio project Room for Dying, she has guided more than 100 participants in death awareness conversations. The Obituary grew directly from that work — and from her own encounter with an unguided obituary writing exercise that she transformed into something else entirely.
A Note
The Obituary is reflective and emotionally evocative, but it is not therapy, grief counseling or crisis support.
Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace and care for themselves accordingly.
