What a Death Doula Wants Caregivers to Know (Episode 153)

Death is one of the hardest things caregivers face - and one of the least talked about. In this episode of Caregiver's Compass, we sit down with Christa Ovenell, a community educator, funeral director, and end-of-life doula, to talk openly about death, dying, and the conversations we avoid until we can't anymore.
