For those directly impacted, the emotional toll is heavy - grieving lost time, displaced loved ones, and a sense of safety. For many undocumented and mixed-status families, that grief is compounded by limited access to mental health care, cultural stigma around emotional vulnerability, and the daily strain of surviving in a system that devalues their presence. This resource list was created for those experiencing this grief firsthand and for those committed to learning how to show up better. Whether you’re seeking trauma-informed therapy, preparing your family with legal safety plans, organizing for justice, or simply trying to understand what it means to grieve in a context shaped by displacement and criminalization, these guides, directories, and personal stories offer both immediate support and long-term care. Let this be a starting point for healing, for community, and for a deeper commitment to dignity. https://www.timetopause.org/articles/aapi monthly 0.5 2025-05-09 https://www.timetopause.org/articles/v4rciqr4kgy7fgn2boupq4bd2t8kwi monthly 0.5 2025-06-10 https://www.timetopause.org/articles/tida-beattie monthly 0.5 2024-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606f7f2225bd2f2df4019bbe/57b979e7-aaaf-4033-820e-256701c3e601/Tida+Beattie+Headshot.jpeg PAUSE Blog - Tida Beattie - Tida Beattie and Soyeon Davis are peer grief support facilitators with a focus on cultural bereavement resulting from migration and intergenerational grief.

We explore Mangda's experiences, the cultural roots of BACII, and the profound impact of facing death and grief. "When my mother was diagnosed with stage four cancer at the age of 48, I was with her during her final days with little support or guidance. This included caregiving, washing her body, planning her funeral, and all the tasks that come with death," shares Mangda, revealing the emotional catalyst that led to their entry into death doula work. Driven by curiosity about what more she could do, Mangda embarked on a transformative journey. "I completed the certification program and everything clicked for me," reflects Mangda, highlighting the pivotal moment that set them on a path of understanding and support. "Unfortunately, most of my experiences with various EOL industries weren’t a positive one. In hindsight, with all the information and knowledge I now have, I most likely could have had a much different experience." This revelation fuels Mangda's commitment to providing more support and guidance, ultimately reducing suffering for individuals and their loved ones. "BACII is inspired and influenced by Laotian baci ceremonies that originate in Laos, where my family is from. Baci loosely translates to 'blessings,' and these ceremonies can be both elaborate or simple, held at weddings, funerals, family reunions, or departures." This cultural connection forms the foundation for the company's mission of sending blessings, wishing well, honoring lives, and restoring harmony through end-of-life rituals. Sharing a pivotal moment, Mangda recounts, "The first time I experienced a baci ceremony was at a funeral where there was so much celebration of life. This captures my perspective on the cycles of life and my grief and death work." In an exploration of societal attitudes towards death, Mangda notes, "Living within a death-avoidant society means we’re lacking acknowledgment, understanding, and even reverence to these topics." Sharing the duality observed in Eastern and Western perspectives on life and death, Mangda emphasizes, "By being in touch with these topics, they can truly change the way we live and die." BACII has centered itself on POC grief and loss by hosting and facilitating POC events or one-on-one support from their inception. This intentional approach aims to address the multi-layered difficulties faced by POC individuals, recognizing the impact of systemic oppression on the grieving process. Contrary to common associations of death and grief with negativity, Mangda sheds light on the transformative potential of BACII's YU:EXIST offering. "YU:EXIST is specifically designed to rebel against fear in a gentle, empowering, and supportive space.” The program aims to alleviate fears and anxieties, allowing participants to explore their lived experiences. Mangda’s journey and commitment to societal change offers a unique perspective, encouraging individuals to engage in open and supportive discussions surrounding death and grief. https://www.timetopause.org/articles/mophofxl5ifq4anubu58mhilzacxy5-eg4zd monthly 0.5 2024-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606f7f2225bd2f2df4019bbe/57b979e7-aaaf-4033-820e-256701c3e601/Tida+Beattie+Headshot.jpeg PAUSE Blog - Tida Beattie: Guiding Immigrant Families through Grief and End-of-Life Care https://www.timetopause.org/articles/mophofxl5ifq4anubu58mhilzacxy5 monthly 0.5 2024-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606f7f2225bd2f2df4019bbe/9e1c62aa-b8be-402d-b3c7-6a11b9f70cbd/JSSit.jpg PAUSE Blog - Say ‘Hello’ to grief with Dr. Julie Shaw - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.timetopause.org/articles/grief-at-the-table-zine-holidays monthly 0.5 2022-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606f7f2225bd2f2df4019bbe/3ad0fac6-1c2c-4929-afc4-bd8695666801/charlene-lam-pink-BG.JPG PAUSE Blog - “Grief at the Table” Introducing a zine supporting People of Color through holiday grief - Charlene Lam Charlene Lam is a certified grief coach, speaker and curator of The Grief Gallery.
