Wilka Roig is a person who has gone through losses, lives with grief, and is going to die. She facilitates support across borders for Spanish-speaking citizens and immigrants, and leads focus groups with pioneers in North, Central, and South America to develop and establish solutions. She is a death activist, death doula, grief worker, and transpersonal psychologist, and she is passionate about birds, stars, wine culture, and confectionary arts.
“My INELDA training confirmed that what we must tend in order to not lose sleep at night is what we must address to prepare for dying. This has become the focus of my work and my life.”
She is the founder and president of Fundación Elisabeth Kübler-Ross México Centro, the cofounder and academic director of Espacio Formativo para la Integración de la Muerte, and the cofounder and administrator of Red Latinoamericana de Acompañamiento en la Muerte y el Duelo.
