What a Death Doula Can Teach Us About Living with Jane Callahan
In this conversation, I sit down with Jane Callahan, a death doula, to explore the complex and often taboo topics of death and grief. Jane shares her insights into what it really means to be a death doula — from navigating family dynamics to understanding the growing death-positive movement. Together, we talk about the unique challenges families face during end-of-life care, the importance of creating meaningful rituals and legacies, and how doulas support both the dying and their loved ones. Jane also highlights why advocacy in healthcare and proactive end-of-life planning are so essential.
