Betty Ramsay & Helen Callanan - To make gentle the effect of death

In this episode Helen and Betty continue the conversation about end‑of‑life doulas: how they train, what the role actually looks like, and why continuity of care matters. They share deeply human stories of vigils, home deaths, palliative care, and supporting families through active dying and bereavement.  The hosts also discuss practical details — training pathways, costs and funding, volunteer and paid options — plus the emotional skills that make this work transformative. (Note: there’s a friendly dog cameo and a brief camera battery hiccup on the YouTube video.)    Catherine Mannix - Ted talk 'What happens as we die?' https://youtu.be/CZDDByT0Vr0?si=MHx7vOqlyCYrFnzq    Natural Grace - https://naturalgrace.com.au/warrnambool/funeral-notices/    VAD link to state law - https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/voluntary-assisted-dying    Blog from Preparing the Way - https://preparingtheway.com.au/what-the-gift-of-after-death-care-can-look-like/    Cert IV End of life doula services - government subsidy in NSW    50/50 is available on YouTube  https://linktr.ee/5050_podcast   Join the conversation! 50/50 is on Facebook  And LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tamaracallaghan  50/50 Podcast is recorded at Tailwind Studio: https://www.linkedin.com/company/tailwind-studio
