"Psychopomps and the Soul by Tiffany Lazic is a luminous guidebook for our times—an exploration of ancient wisdom made deeply personal through the author’s own transformative journey through grief. Birthed during the collective “dark night of the soul” of a global pandemic, this book offers much-needed clarity and grants hard-to-find comfort for navigating the challenges that accompany transition — whether the final passage of life or the more gradual death of the soul caused by spiritual disconnection and shame. Tracing the threads spun by psychopomps—those ancient Gods and guides who have long assisted souls through the threshold between worlds—Lazic weaves a tapestry of cross-cultural wisdom and personal reflection. This is not simply a manual for understanding death; rather, it is a profound exploration of how we might live more fully, shedding the burdens of inauthenticity and embracing the truth of our essence. Alongside rich mythological references, the book offers practical tools for embracing the shadow of our lives and finding our way back into the light. Tiffany Lazic, a seasoned psychotherapist with decades of experience, brings not only her deep understanding of the human psyche to this work but also an intimate account of her own personal journey. Through her own lived experiences of navigating grief, shame, and transformation, Lazic invites the reader into a more vulnerable, authentic exploration of what it means to walk through the darkness. These personal stories lend the book a rare warmth and sincerity, reminding us that the journey through the shadow is not only universal but deeply individual. Lazic’s insights—born of both clinical wisdom and lived experience—serve as gentle guides for anyone confronting life’s most profound challenges, helping us find the courage to become, in turn, “accidental psychopomps” for others. This is not just a book for those involved in the work of death midwifery or psychotherapy, but for anyone who has faced the darkness of their own soul and sought the light. Through the author's personal stories and professional insights, Psychopomps and the Soul provides an invaluable resource for anyone seeking clarity in moments of despair, peace amidst anxiety, and healing in the face of life's inevitable transitions. In these pages, you will find tools to support your own soul’s journey—from living authentically in the face of overwhelming fear to navigating the profound liminality of helping a loved one cross the threshold from life to death. Psychopomps and the Soul is a timely and compassionate guide to assist us in facing the dark with grace, living more fully in the light, and—like the ancient psychopomps themselves—becoming a guiding hand for others as they walk own paths through the darkness.

"Tiffany Lazic's Psychopomps and the Soul is a deeply profound work from an incredibly skilled teacher and guide. There is history here, scholarly research, and insightful inquiry, but the real treasure is the jewel of acceptance and understanding drawn from her personal experiences with death. Tiffany invites the reader into an intimate knowing of the kind of grief that changes one forever. What she has learned with grace, she now shares so generously, and we are all blessed."

"If you add only one book to your shelf this year, it should be Psychopomps and the Soul. Poignant, powerful, and deeply reassuring, Lazic has created a compendium of comfort, guidance, and profound wisdom that can be a light in the dark during liminal times. Deftly woven with journal reflections, meditations, and psychotherapeutic exercises, this book stands alongside the esteemed depth psychology work of Estes, Bolen, and Weller. The reader is invited to connect with specific cross-cultural psychopomps that can serve as powerful guides to help navigate the uncertainty that comes with death. I will wholeheartedly recommend this book to my clients, and indeed anyone, as we will all find ourselves at that threshold, or perhaps be called to assist someone else in the crossing."

"Lazic's words are a beacon of hope, helping to navigate the reader through the complex experiences of death and grief. Psychopomps & the Soul is a compelling and beautiful book, both as an educational approach to the legacy of various liminal guardians from different cultures as well as an empathetic understanding of mourning and how to traverse life in its most challenging times...A must-read book."

"Lazic writes from a place of knowledge, empathy, and compassion. She has lived through the subject, and helps the reader to move through grief and loss with first-hand knowledge. This is a book of healing and of wholeness, of transformation and empowerment."
