Peticolas is a sociologist and longtime student of Sufism. She teaches seminars on end-of-life and leads loss support groups around the Bay Area. She has been working in the field of death and loss for over 17 years. Producer of the award-winning documentary "Secret of Life and Death," she also presents at hospitals, hospices and community groups around northern California.
Death is a subject that much of modern western society prefers to avoid.
