March Madness End of Life Edition

In this special episode, Suzanne O’Brien, RN, founder of Doulagivers Institute and former oncology and hospice nurse, celebrates the one-year anniversary of her book The Good Death: A Guide for Supporting Your Loved One Through the End of Life. After caring for more than 1,000 people at the bedside, Suzanne witnessed how much fear and confusion families experience simply because they were never taught what to expect during the end-of-life process. Just 100 years ago, families knew how to care for loved ones at the end of life. Today, much of that knowledge has been lost. This episode explores how education, compassion, and open conversations can help us bring this sacred knowledge back. What You’ll Learn in This Episode • Why understanding death can help us live more meaningful lives • What inspired Suzanne to write The Good Death • Lessons learned from caring for over 1,000 people at the end of life • Why end-of-life education is urgently needed today • How individuals and communities can help shift the culture around death and dying March Madness: End-of-Life Edition Events Goodreads Giveaway To celebrate the first anniversary of The Good Death, we are giving away 10 signed copies of the book.

Yet most families enter this sacred time without guidance or education. When we bring back the knowledge of how to care for someone at the end of life, fear decreases, connection deepens, and love leads the way. Death returns to being the natural and sacred experience it was always meant to be.
