About Marta Macbeth:

Marta Macbeth’s journey began with her father's sudden death when she was ten, a moment that deeply impacted her. Throughout life, she's faced more losses, including a best friend in her 30s and her mother at forty. In 2022, she grappled with profound grief, bidding farewell to two close friends within a month, followed by the sudden loss of her partner of twenty years.

Now 69 years old, as she enters 2024, she's in a phase of reinvention after a year of navigating grief and joy. Marta is a student of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as a mother, grandmother, and death doula, reflecting the diverse aspects of her life journey.
