from Ask a Death Doula · host Suzanne B. O’Brien RN

Unlock the secrets to navigating the profound journey of end-of-life care with insights from my 20 years of experience as a hospice and oncology nurse. You'll gain the tools needed to transform your perception of mortality from one of fear to acceptance, understanding death as a sacred rite of passage. By exploring the expansion of Doulagiver's Institute to Boise, Idaho, as part of the Good Death Book Tour, we emphasize the importance of planning and understanding the phases of end of life. Learn practical strategies like the three-question technique and appreciate the benefits of home wakes and funerals, empowering you to support loved ones through terminal diagnoses with compassion and grace. Embrace a shift in societal attitudes towards death, recognizing it as a release from pain and an opportunity for healing. This episode highlights the upcoming Pacific Northwest and Boise events, including a Level One training session and a film screening of "Being Mortal," that underscore the necessity for compassionate care. We challenge conventional perceptions by drawing on insights from diverse cultures and religions, encouraging a life filled with gratitude and values alignment. Join us in this thought-provoking discussion, where we advocate for quality of life over mere longevity and highlight the profound impact of community support in the journey toward a good death.   (00:02) Expanding Doulagiver's Institute in Boise (10:56) Shifting Perception on End of Life (16:28) Launch and Events for Good Death   LIVE BOISE EVENTS:   OCTOBER 15th BOISE: Join the upcoming FREE Doulagivers Level 1 End of Life Doula and Family Caregiver Training  & Book Signing of THE GOOD DEATH  October 15th Save Your Seat Here OCTOBER 16th BEING MORTAL FILM SCREENING 4:00pm.
