In this heartwarming episode of Stories from Under the Piano, I have the pleasure of welcoming Carin Mikos, a remarkable woman whose work touches the deepest aspects of life and loss. Carin is a registered nurse with 27 years of experience and has spent the last three years as an end-of-life specialist. She is also the founder of the Quietus House, a unique concierge service that helps individuals plan their final journey, leave a legacy, and find support in their grief.
Carin shares a poignant childhood memory of learning to ride a bike—a moment filled with joy, fear, and unexpected adventure. This simple yet powerful story of her father’s guidance, the thrill of newfound freedom, and the unexpected crash into a tree serves as a metaphor for navigating life’s uncertainties and the comfort of knowing someone is there to support you.
After Carin shares her story, we dive deeper into her emotions during that experience. With a few questions, I help Carin explore the nuances of her feelings—her initial fear, the exhilarating sense of freedom, and the shock of crashing into the tree. These insights allow me to create a personalized musical portrait at the piano, reflecting the emotional journey Carin described. The music captures the initial trepidation, the thrill of riding, and the light-hearted moment of impact, bringing her memory to life through sound.
We also delve into Carin’s incredible work with the Quietus House. She discusses the importance of embracing grief, the various ways individuals can express and process their grief, and the need for a supportive community. Carin’s holistic approach helps ensure that when the time comes, the experience is as complete and peaceful as possible.
Listen in to discover how memories, music, and deep conversations can help us overcome our fears and connect with those we love, even in their final days.
