What is an End-of-Life Doula?

Today, we are joined by Certified End-of-Life Doula and Elder Care Consultant, Barbara Marshall. Barb’s professional journey would be considered non-traditional by many. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Communication Systems Management during her mid-30s. While raising her children Barb returned to school in her mid-40s to earn her Master of Arts in Healthcare Communication. From there she spent 12 years in the pharmaceutical industry and then nearly 9 years with hospice agency in Indianapolis. During her time in hospice Barb discovered her passion: supporting those with life limiting conditions and navigating the end-of-life process.This episode explores questions about what it means to die well, and how end-of-life doulas like Barb provide non-medical physical, emotional and spiritual support to patients and their loved ones before, during and after death.
