Episode 25 - Grief in the Digital Age: Dr. Camelia Clarke on Social Media Etiquette and Setting Boundaries After Loss
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Camelia Clarke — owner of Paradise Memorial Funeral and Cremation Services, National Funeral Director Association (NFDA) spokesperson, and grief etiquette advocate — as she shares how compassion can guide us through even the most delicate moments of loss.
With nearly thirty years in the funeral profession, Dr. Clarke has helped countless families navigate death with dignity. After experiencing the sudden loss of her nephew and witnessing how quickly painful news can spread online, she began leading national conversations about grief etiquette in the digital age.
We discuss how to support grieving loved ones both online and in person, why it’s okay to set boundaries, and what to say (and not say) when words feel impossible. This conversation is a guide for anyone who wants to show up with empathy while avoiding unintentional harm in the space between loss and healing.
Dr. Clarke is a kind, compassionate professional who deeply understands the many facets of grief. She is a joy to connect with and you can work with Dr. Clarke and Paradise Memorial Funeral and Cremation Services here.
