Sometimes, we need help navigating our grief and the dying process.

Death and dying aren’t always easy subjects. Conversations about your end-of-life desires and the legacy you want to leave behind can be particularly difficult for some individuals, as well as their family and friends. Understanding what happens when someone dies can be confusing and challenging.

No matter how someone dies, we each find different ways to grieve the loss of a loved one. Having help along the way to process our grief and understand what’s happening can make the act of dying more manageable. That’s were having an end-of-life doula can help. The death doula assists a dying person and their loved ones before, during, and after death.

Breana Clark is a death doula and she is going to talk with us about having the opportunity to talk openly and honestly about death which can help reduce the anxiety and guilt often associated with death and dying. End-of-life doulas excel at advocating for people who are dying, planning, and having some of those crucial conversations.
