This episode invites you to explore the profound journey of end-of-life care through the lens of my 20 years as a hospice and oncology nurse, offering tools to transform fear of mortality into acceptance by viewing death as a sacred passage. We discuss the expansion of Doulagivers Institute to Boise, Idaho, as part of the Good Death Book Tour, highlighting practical strategies like the three-question technique, the value of home wakes and funerals, and the importance of planning for end-of-life phases. With events such as a Level One training and a screening of Being Mortal, we emphasize compassionate care, cultural and spiritual insights, and the need to prioritize quality of life over longevity, while recognizing the healing power of gratitude, values alignment, and community support.
