This podcast episode will introduce our listeners to the crucial work of an end of life doula. What is an end of life doula? A doula is a person with special training to assist the dying person and their family through the dying process with greater comfort and deeper meaning. Learn more about the International End of Life Doula Association (INELDA) by visiting their website. INELDA was founded in 2015 to “foster the use of end of life doulas in hospices, hospitals, communities, and directly to dying people through the service of private practitioners.” We also introduce the Geripal podcast to our listeners in this episode, and recommend that you take some time to listen to this very interesting, fun, and informative podcast. You can listen to the podcast and read their blog on their website at this link.   Don’t forget to visit The Heart of Hospice website for more information about hospice, caregiving tips, self care resources, and advanced care planning guides.
