Episode 3
"Death doula" may sound like a scary title, but it's quite the opposite. Doulas are kindhearted people who help others during the end-of-life transition with practical assistance born from centuries of real-world wisdom. Suzanne O'Brien, founder of Doulagivers and a doula herself, joins the show to talk about her experiences working in hospice, people's most common deathbed regrets, and the surprising magic that can happen in our final moments.
