Listen to the Heart of a Pediatric Death Doula

from The Heart of Hospice Podcast · host Helen Bauer BSN RN CHPN

Today’s guest Alexandra Dionisio offers an honest look at the work of a pediatric death doula, describing how she has learned to sit with hard truths and face them with an open heart.  As the host of the Learning To Say Goodbye podcast, Alexandra is exploring death, grief, and spirituality.  After losing four people she loved in quick succession - none of whom she got to say goodbye to - Alexandra transformed her grief into a mission.  Her work now focuses on helping families say the goodbyes she never could and honoring endings.  Alexandra acknowledges the challenges of working with a family with a dying child, including the emotional toll it takes to support parents experiencing anticipatory grief.  Her memoir Learning to Say Goodbye: A Memoir of Grief and Trust offers an honest look at grief without toxic positivity.   Connect with Pediatric Death Doula and Reiki Master Alexandra Dionisio: Website: learningtosaygoodbye.com Purchase your copy of Learning to Say Goodbye: A Memoir of Grief and Trust on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Strand Books.  Listen to the Learning to Say Goodbye podcast here.
