La doctora Silvia Rubio Gómez, coordinadora de la Unidad de Cuidados Paliativos de Fundación Hospitalarias Madrid Hospital Beata María Ana, nos detalla las iniciativas de su centro que, en torno a este tipo de cuidados, van más allá de la atención clínica, como la Escuela de Cuidadores, los llamados Death Café o la instalación de tablets en las habitaciones de los pacientes.

Grief. Death. Loss.Deep breath. Stay with me.  (The name of the podcast should have warned you!) In this episode, I sit down with life transition coach and death doula Jennifer Sanfilippo (www.jennifer-sanfilippo.com) to talk about something we ALL experience… but rarely talk about well.PLOT TWIST: grief isn't just about death! We explore how unacknowledged losses (like career shifts, identity changes, empty nests, layoffs, divorces and all that) quietly shape our resilience. Because if we don't learn how to face the small griefs, the big ones hit even harder.We dive into:How to support someone who's grieving (without saying the wrong thing)Why grief absolutely belongs in workplace conversationsHow open discussions about death and loss actually build resilience and connectionJennifer also shares her powerful journey from the financial industry to becoming a life transition coach after the loss of her husband, and why creating space for grief is one of the bravest things we can do.Yes, we talk about death, and yes, we laugh because grief and joy can coexist. If you've ever felt unsure what to say… avoided the topic… or tried to “stay strong” instead of feeling… this conversation is for you.Chapters03:08 Understanding Grief and Loss05:57 The Journey from Finance to Life Coaching12:03 Building Bridges of Compassion17:55 Death Cafes: Creating Safe Spaces for Conversation24:02 Navigating Grief in the WorkplaceJennifer Sanfilippo, MBA, is a certified end-of-life doula and executive coach.

In this episode I have a chat with Phillip Othen, a London-based podcaster who has thought about death and non-existence daily since his early teens. Phillip shares how insomnia sparked a lifelong fear of not existing, how he channels that anxiety into his podcast "The Man Who Was Scared to Death", and how therapy and coping strategies have shaped his life. The conversation explores Death Cafés, a movement all around the world, interviews with people who work around death, and whether talking openly about mortality can make the subject less frightening and more constructive.

Armando BuonaiutoQuesto vuoto d'intorno"Torino Spiritualità"http://www.torinospiritualita.orghttp://www.circololettori.itTorino Spiritualità costruisce uno spazio di riflessione sul vuoto e sulle sue numerose forme, esplorando questa presenza impalpabile ma pervasiva. “Questo vuoto d'intorno. Smarrirsi / / Raggiungersi” è la XXI edizione del festival, ideato dalla Fondazione Circolo dei lettori e curato da Armando Buonaiuto, in programma dal 15 al 19 ottobre al Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici, in teatri, chiese, cinema, spazi della cultura a Torino. In un'epoca dominata dall'eccesso di impegni, oggetti e esperienze, Torino Spiritualità propone di guardare al vuoto non come a una mancanza da colmare, ma come a una dimensione da abitare, soglia aperta sull'inatteso, spazio di contemplazione di sé e del mondo. Pensatrici e pensatori, voci della teologia, della scienza, della letteratura e della filosofia accompagnano il pubblico in un percorso fatto di parole, silenzi e domande radicali sul senso dell'esistere.«Per paradossale che sia, il vuoto riempie le nostre giornate manifestandosi sotto molteplici apparenze: a volte confortanti come la quiete di “una stanza tutta per sé”, altre volte angoscianti come lo scricchiolio di un pavimento troppo sottile per reggerci. Ma qual è in definitiva la natura di questo vuoto? Vortice e sorgente, precipizio e rifugio, il vuoto è lo spazio sospeso di ogni divenire possibile», afferma Armando Buonaiuto, curatore di Torino Spiritualità.«Se da un lato c'è un vuoto che vogliamo fuggire, dall'altro ce n'è uno a cui miriamo. Oggi che le nostre giornate sono travolte da sollecitazioni continue, il vuoto non è soltanto mancanza ma anche spazio di libertà, persino di sollievo: una pausa necessaria in cui sottrarsi all'eccesso e ritrovare misura.» dichiara Giuseppe Culicchia, direttore della Fondazione Circolo dei lettori.Il festival prende il via martedì 14 ottobre con l'anteprima Concerto al buio del compositore, musicista e sound designer Teho Teardo: un'esperienza di puro ascolto che dopo il MAXXI di Roma e la Triennale di Milano, approda al Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici in doppio spettacolo (h 18.45 e h 20.45). Distesi a terra, immersi nell'oscurità, i partecipanti saranno guidati in cinquanta minuti di viaggio sonoro tra registrazioni ambientali notturne effettuate nelle foreste al confine tra Italia, Austria e Slovenia.La giornata inaugurale di mercoledì 15 ottobre si apre alla Chiesa di San Filippo Neri (h 18.30) con Questo vuoto d'intorno, questo vuoto di dentro, dialogo tra il teologo Vito Mancuso e il fisico Guido Tonelli, moderato dal curatore del festival Armando Buonaiuto: tra scienza e spiritualità, un invito ad accogliere l'enigma del vuoto e della sua vertigine.

Al Cinema Romano, il filosofo Maurizio Ferraris inaugura il ciclo di lezioni “I maestri del sospetto” con La morte di Dio non è più quella di una volta (h 18.30), riflessioni sul presente a partire da Nietzsche. In serata, all'Ospedale Mauriziano, il Gruppo Stanza del Silenzio propone Il vuoto che riempie, il silenzio che parla (h 20.30). Quattro diversi appuntamenti chiudono la giornata: al Teatro Vittoria lo spettacolo Il vecchio e il marlin con Roberto Abbiati (h 21); al Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici Marco Vannini con Vuoto, perché Dio lo abiti (h 21); sempre al Circolo l'incontro interreligioso Zero Metafisico con Giuseppe Momigliano, Mulayka Laura Enriello e Sonia Brunetti Luzzati (h 21).La quarta giornata di Torino Spiritualità, venerdì 17 ottobre, si apre al Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici con Stefania Verde e Matteo Suffritti sj che meditano su una pagina biblica in La corsa di Gesù e dei suoi testimoni, a cura del Centro Ignaziano di Spiritualità (h 11.30). Nel pomeriggio la Biblioteca civica della Casa Circondariale “Lorusso e Cutugno” ospita Dentro l'invisibile. Storie, parole e silenzi oltre le mura, una tavola rotonda che restituisce dignità alle voci di chi vive in detenzione, a cura di Arianna Balma Tivola e con la partecipazione di educatori, psicoterapeuti, tanatologi e operatori penitenziari, a cura del festival Il rumore del lutto (h 15). Di nuovo al Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici, Maria Grazia Prandino e Paolo Monaco sj riflettono sull'esperienza ignaziana del dare e ricevere in Prendi, ricevi, dammi, a cura del CIS (h 16.30). La serata si apre con tre percorsi paralleli: al Polo Culturale CAM Francisca Vairo Scaramuzza ed Ermanno Savarino affrontano i grandi interrogativi esistenziali in Domande senza risposta (h 18); al Circolo l'artista e viaggiatore Stefano Faravelli dialoga con Andrea Bocconi in Verso Capo Horn: il taccuino per reimmaginare il mondo (h 18); al Teatro San Giuseppe il teologo Vito Mancuso e l'attore Gabriele Goria, accompagnati dalle musiche originali di Simone Campa, portano in scena la lezione-spettacolo L'arciere è il bersaglio, ispirata al celebre Lo Zen e il tiro con l'arco di Eugen Herrigel (h 18). A seguire, al Circolo, si tiene Colmare un vuoto o cercare la Pienezza?, dialogo tra religione e politica che vede confrontarsi l'imam Yahya Pallavicini, Lama Paljin Tulku Rinpoce, l'assessore Maurizio Marrone e i senatori Lucio Malan e Francesco Verducci, moderati da Mikail Mocci (h 18.30).La sera si accende di suggestioni: al Teatro San Giuseppe il cantautore Brunori Sas e il monaco Guidalberto Bormolini, con la moderazione di Armando Buonaiuto, si interrogano sull'amore e sul vuoto in Solamente un grande vuoto che a guardarlo ti fa male (h 21); al Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici la sociologa Maria D'Ambrosio esplora le dinamiche dell'invidia nell'era digitale con Invidia. Il tuo pieno è il mio vuoto (h 21); all'Unione Culturale Antonicelli l'attore Saulo Lucci dà voce al pubblico in Hell o'Dante. Un canto scelto dal pubblico, viaggio dantesco che lascia spazio al rischio dell'imprevisto (h 21).La quinta giornata di Torino Spiritualità, sabato 18 ottobre, prende avvio con quattro appuntamenti in contemporanea.

In this episode of Senior Matters Podcast, host Mark E. Wight sits down with guest facilitator of to explore the global Death Café movement. This grassroots initiative provides a safe and informal space where people gather to talk openly about mortality over tea, snacks, and conversation. From its roots in Switzerland and the UK to Boise's thriving local chapter, Death Cafés encourage honest conversations that often blend laughter, tears, and curiosity. These gatherings are designed primarily for adults, creating a respectful environment where participants can freely explore their thoughts and feelings about death. While children sometimes have opportunities to engage through separate library events, the standard Death Café format is best suited for mature audiences. Discover why communities across the globe are embracing these unique conversations, what happens during a Death Café, and how talking about death can actually make life feel richer and more connected.

To sum up this episode, I'd say: listen to learn all about Death Cafés from a seasoned facilitator! How does it work? Who attends? What sorts of things are discussed? And how can I find one near me? Pull up a chair at this conversation about Death Cafés – where talking about the end is just the beginning of a really lively conversation.

Das Sterben wirft bei Angehörigen und Pflegenden immer wieder Fragen auf: Was wünschen sich Menschen, die im Sterben liegen? Welche psychosozialen und spirituellen Bedürfnisse haben sie?

Dreams from the Other Side: Visitations, Dreaming with the Dead, and Scary Creatures from Unseen Realms. In this Day of the Dead special, our guest this week is Marta Aarli, a psychotherapist and dream guide in Colorado. This is the time of year when our ability to dream through the veil that separates this world from other realms increases. We may receive visits from loved ones who have crossed over or scary beings from unknown places, bringing terrifying messages or beautiful offerings, like a mystical version of trick or treat. How can we work with these in a way that opens up our consciousness while also protecting us from harm? There are several ways to approach the things that scare us. Just as our nervous system's first response to fear is generally fight, flight or freeze, our first emotional response to a scary dream may be to reject, deny or ignore it. The benefits from opening up scary dreams are often profound and healing gifts. We need courage to face them, as well as strong allies and protectors. We take live questions from Ray and Max. You can find out about the Death Café movement which is mentioned on the show at DeathCafe.com BIO: Marta Aarli, MA, LPC, is a psychotherapist and dream guide in Colorado. She draws from multiple styles of dreamwork in her eclectic approach to exploring the personal, collective and ancestral aspects of dreaming. She is currently writing a book on finding the healing messages in dreams.

Let's talk about death! And grief, and loss, and the profound transformation that can occur in the aftermath of large shifts and losing parts of ourselves. Maybe it's not a person you lost, maybe it's a relationship, a hope, a dream, or a physical ability… we all experience loss. But the question is, how do you deal with it? And how do we help loved ones through it? Speaking with us today is Death Doula Maux Elworthy. She is a trauma-informed coach and suicide intervention educator creating spaces for conversations about grief, loss, death and mental health in our everyday lives. Listen in as she teaches us what she has learned about surviving & thriving in times of loss & grief.    Because… our culture really doesn't talk about these realities often enough or in intimate ways. Opening yourself up to grief, is really opening yourself up to deeper levels of love and connection. They are two sides of the same coin, and one often cannot exist without the other. Living in fear of the grief that might one day come from loving deeply, stops some from loving altogether, and that is not how we want to live.  CONTACT: Join the WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/Eo5RM4TYTBt4M4RT21Ohew  Website: www.krishall.ca   Email List:  ⁠https://www.subscribepage.com/reclaim-your-radiance⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/reclaim_your_radiance⁠  TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@reclaimyourradiance⁠ Retreat: Wild Women Rising  Apply for your chance to participate in a powerful sacred sensuality retreat on Bowen Island, BC, from September 20-22nd.

I met these two women, Sarah and Shanel, over the summer at a Death Café. While we both host/ed Death Café, their vibe is different than when I hosted. It reminds me that each person has a unique perspective to share with the world. They bring that vibe into the show, and I know you'll feel it as we talk together.Bonus: To keep this episode from being too long, I saved a little nugget from this interview for next week. We laughed a lot and the ladies answered my last, last question so well, I wanted to share it with you. But that's for next week.  Podcast mentioned: Terrible, Thanks for Asking  -  https://ttfa.orgEnd of LIfe Deck - https://thedeathdeck.comhttps://tumbleweird.orgListen and read my blog: https://whilewerestillhere.com and https://grimtea.comReach me at kathy@whilewerestillhere.comStarting with Episode 56, the episode music was added.

In this episode, we welcome Shari Alton, ADN RN, CHPN and Deb Bershad, BSN, RN, CHPN, to talk about Death Cafe in the Phoenix Chapter of HPNA. Deb and Shari speak on how Death Cafe encourages open discourse about death and dying for healthcare professionals and how to get involved.   About Shari: Shari Alton is an ADN RN, CHPN with 45 years of experience in the nursing field. Shari started as a CNA in 1978, then became an LPN and graduated from RN school in 1983. Her background includes inpatient Med-Surg, Ortho, Post-Partum and Nursery, Chemical Dependency and Adult Psychiatry and Endoscopy. For the last 20 years, Shari has worked at Hospice of the Valley, in Phoenix, Arizona, as an RNCM in Home Hospice. Currently, Shari is the President of the Phoenix Chapter of the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association. She is passionate about Death Café and has benefitted tremendously from it. About Deb: Deb Bershad is a nurse with diverse experience. She has worked most nursing positions available in the acute care hospital setting. She spent 17 years in the acute care setting, until burnout took its toll. She left the field and found her most rewarding and challenging work to date. For the next ten years, she worked as a teacher, facilitator, and Professional Development Coach. Personal tragedy prompted a 3-day retreat in which she re-clarified her goals and passion in life. This led to her return to nursing, where she found new pride, purpose, and meaning in her life as a nurse. Some of her most rewarding work has come in her latest role, as a Hospice nurse.

People don't like to think about death. And they certainly don't like to talk about it. Or do they? Sharon Crowell is an end-of-life acupuncturist and hospice volunteer who facilitates Death Cafés where participants have honest and often lively discussions about death, dying, and impermanence. And it's not as morbid as it sounds. By encouraging early conversations about end-of-life wishes with loved ones before a medical crisis occurs, we can help ensure a better death experience for everyone, including caregivers. Thanks to Sharon and these gatherings, more people have an increased awareness of death, which is helping them make the most of their lives. — Don't forget to subscribe, download, and review to share your thoughts about the show!

I attended my first Death Café in 2012. I enjoyed the experience so much I continued to attend different Death Café meetings throughout San Diego. I became a host of Death Café in 2014.  Take a listen and see for yourself that talking about death and dying does not have to be scary. It may even be fun!  http://deathcafe.comListen and read my blog: https://whilewerestillhere.com and https://grimtea.comStarting with Episode 56, the episode music was added.

Wildfire is a vital ecological process, but it can be dangerous. It's also a tangible reminder of how our climate is changing around us. Therefore, living in areas impacted by wildfire can be stressful on many levels, and individuals may experience eco-anxiety –  or even eco-grief –  in response.  On the latest episode of the Living With Fire Podcast, guest Caitlyn Wallace, LCSW, unpacks these terms and talks about ways to address feelings about wildfire and climate change. According to Wallace, “Eco-anxiety is the anxiousness and the worry about the changing climate and what might happen. And eco-grief is the sadness and grief at the loss of life – human, animal and plant life – that you anticipate to come.”Wallace, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist in Northern Nevada, specializes in perinatal mental health and the emerging field of climate-informed therapy. She treats patients experiencing pregnancy, postpartum depression and anxiety, infertility, grief and loss. Wallace explained that some of her clients were also experiencing eco-anxiety and eco-grief. “I started noticing in some of my clients this grief and guilt around – I work so hard for this baby, I tried so hard for this baby. The baby is here. And now I am guilty and ashamed because there's a pandemic, there's smoke, there's this warming climate and we're in a huge drought. What did I do? Why did I bring a baby into this world?” said Wallace. On the podcast, Wallace explained that anxiety and grief show up differently for everyone. Therefore, there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution for dealing with eco-anxiety and grief. However, she emphasized the importance of acknowledging feelings and experiences. “I think that a big thing is being able to name it and being able to talk about it. Yeah, we know enough to know that for a lot of these things. Specifically, depression, anxiety, that being able to talk about your feelings around them gets you out of a fight-or-flight reactive place and into a place where you can be more responsive.”Wallace speaks about the benefits of finding a space to talk about the feelings of eco-anxiety, such as a Climate Café modeled after Death Cafés. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America, a Climate Café is “an informal, open, respectful, confidential space to safely share emotional responses and reactions related to the climate and environmental emergency.”Wallace is one of the only climate-informed therapists in Northern Nevada and has started hosting free Climate Cafés in Reno, which you can read about in Our Town Reno.

Anthony Hopkins hat einmal gesagt: “Keiner von uns kommt lebend hier raus.'' Heute sprechen wir mit Prof. Dr. med. Raymond Voltz, Direktor des Zentrums für Palliativmedizin der Uniklinik Köln, Vorsitzender des Palliativ- und Hospiznetzwerks Köln e.V. sowie Mitbegründer der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Palliativmedizin e.V. über das Sterben und die wichtige Zeit davor. Was geschieht beim Sterben? Was passiert die letzten Stunden und Tage vor dem Tod? Und ist das wirklich so entscheidend? Oder ist es mindestens genauso wichtig, die letzten Monate und Jahre davor selbstbestimmt zu gestalten? Können wir - oder sollten wir - uns alle auf das Sterben etwas vorbereiten? Wenn ja: Wie lange vor Ihrem Tod möchten Sie wissen, dass Sie sterben werden? Was tut die Palliativmedizin in der Zeit davor und auf was dürfen wir alle für ein selbstbestimmtes und glückliches Lebensende achten?

Val Zavala, former anchor/reporter for the long-running KCET (L.A. PBS station) series SoCal Connected and Life & Times talks about: The ‘Extinction Circle' group that she was part of for a couple years, meeting once a month to discuss likely human extinction (before the pandemic led the group to slowly disband; meantime she continues to be an active member of her local ‘Death Café'); how approaching humanity's future is akin to Elisabeth Kubler Ross' five stages of grief; the oil industry's campaign of disinformation and its effect on the climate crisis; a profoundly thoughtful Buddhist take on our (humankind's) fate; relating extinction to former guest Fernando Dominguez Rubio's study of the preservation of artworks in the museum, and what Val thinks of the lengths museums go to maintain artworks' longevity; the concept of EA, or Effective Altruism, in relation to human longevity; “Seeding” the future, which is to say leaving a better foundation for future civilizations; and her “New 10 Commandments for Future Generations.”

*"You can find the English version of the text below." Olivia Bareham ist eine „Death Midwife“. Warum sie ein Unternehmen rund um das Thema Tod gegründet hat, wie sie die Würde des Menschen bis in den Tod und darüber hinaus schützt, wie sie Menschen rund um das Thema Tod durch Seminare und Fortbildungen aufklärt und was sie selbst über den Tod denkt, das erzählt sie uns im heutigen Podcast. Olivia teilt mit Dir viele wertvolle Insights und beantwortet aus ihrer jahrelangen Erfahrung einige brisante Fragen, die viele von uns Menschen da draußen beschäftigen: Wissen wir es vorher, wann wir sterben werden? Was konkret können wir tun, um Ängste vor dem Sterben zu verlieren? Warum sollten wir uns schon als Kinder in der Schule mit diesen Themen beschäftigen? Fun facts in diesem Podcast: Wusstest Du schon, welche alternativen Methoden es zu einer „klassischen“ Beerdigung gibt? Was hat es zum Beispiel mit einem „Biokrematorium“ auf sich, bei dem die Leiche in einen Laugenbottich gelegt wird, der komplette Körper sich dann verflüssigt und die braune Flüssigkeit dann als Düngemittel verwendet wird?

*"You can find the English version of the text below." Obwohl der Tod kein direktes Schwerpunktthema am berühmten ESALEN-Institut in Big Sur, Kalifornien ist, hat dieses Thema dort indirekt einen sehr hohen Stellenwert. Denn indirekt beschäftigen wir uns alle mit dem Tod und der Angst vor dem Tod und dem Sterben, sobald wir uns auch anderen Ängsten des täglichen Lebens widmen. Dafür steht JJ Jeffries, der seit vielen Jahren Sensory Awareness und Chakra Meditationen im berühmten ESALEN-Institut unterrichtet und Menschen aus der ganzen Welt in kürzester Zeit dabei unterstützt, sich den Erfahrungen in ESALEN zu öffnen, um damit eine tiefe innere Heilung zu erfahren. Denn die am Institut praktizierten Methoden unterstützen Menschen dabei, ihre Ängste zu verlieren und mit Schmerzen anders umzugehen. Eine dieser Methoden ist JJs Chakra-Meditation für das sensorische Bewusstsein. Doch wie hilft diese Chakra Meditation dabei, Angst und sogar Todesangst besser zu bewältigen? Und welche kleinen Alltagsübungen können wir in unser Leben integrieren, um Angst und Schmerz loszulassen? Diese Fragen diskutieren wir mit JJ genauso wie: Welche Rolle spielt Musik für unsere innere Balance? Und was ist das "ESALEN Geheimnis" für Heilung? Außerdem verrät uns JJ seine ganz persönlichen Zutaten für sein kalifornisches Rezept des Heilens.

Suizidassistenz: Ein spannendes Thema, das wir heute mit Herrn Professor Reimer Gronemeyer - promovierter Theologe und Soziologe, Vorsitzender der Aktion Demenz und Mitglied im wissenschaftlichen Beirat des Deutschen Hospiz- und Palliativ-Verbands - diskutieren. Und hoch interessant! Warum? Weil dieses Thema nicht nur in den aktuellen Medien diskutiert wird, sondern uns auch alle betreffen wird - gesellschaftlich und politisch. Denn rechtlich befindet sich Deutschland seit Februar 2020 in einer Grauzone. Im Jahr 2020 wurde vom Bundesverfassungsgericht das Verbot zur Suizidbeihilfe gekippt. Der hier gekippte § 217 des Strafgesetzbuchs hatte bis dahin geregelt, dass die sogenannte geschäftsmäßige Förderung der Selbsttötung strafbar war - und dieser Paragraph machte Beihilfe zum Suizid für Ärzte, Organisationen und Privatpersonen unmöglich. Nun ist der Paragraph gekippt - doch wie soll diese Unterstützung Dritter zukünftig geregelt werden? Was sind Gründe für eine Suizidassistenz? Wo ist die Grenze? Was geschieht beispielsweise mit an Demenz erkrankten Menschen, die diese Entscheidung nicht mehr für sich alleine treffen können? Kurzum: Wie kann Sterbehilfe ermöglicht, aber ein Missbrauch ausgeschlossen werden? Und wie können wir sicher gehen, dass ältere oder erkrankte Menschen sich nicht als überflüssig oder zu kostspielig betrachten? Genau diese Fragen möchten wir heute Herrn Professor Reimer Gronemeyer stellen, der seit vielen Jahren Experte auf diesem komplexen und weitreichenden Gebiet ist und eine sehr spannende Perspektive dazu einbringt.

Today is National Death Doula Day and we are celebrating with a very special podcast and free family caregiver training!   Death used to be revered as a sacred part of our life's journey. It is only within the last 100 years that we've absolutely removed the end of life from being a natural component of our lives.    This removal of end of life has, in my opinion, caused death to become 1,000 times more difficult for both patients and family members.    End of life can be a positive and sacred experience. It is with the right education, kindness, and support that we can have the end of life go well for every person - everywhere in the world.   Due to current reimbursement structures, mainstream medical is only able to supply a certain amount of time and support for patients and families at the end of life - but end of life is 24/7 and the need for more support in this area of care is extremely great.    “The minute we put a dollar amount and a time limit on dying, we're doing something wrong.” - Suzanne B. O'Brien RN    Doulagivers/Death Doulas are non-medical holistic practitioners that care for somebody who is dying physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The Doulagiver/Death Doula is filling in the gaps in mainstream medical and can support not only the patient and family but the Hospice Care Team as well. It is a win/win/win addition to end of life care!    In this episode of Ask a Death Doula, we will cover:   The History of the Death Doula Movement Why We Need Doulagivers/Death Doulas How Hospice is Working with Doulagivers/Death Doulas to Provide the Best End of Life Experiences for Patients and Families. What Death Doula Day is and How You Can Celebrate It   Listen to the Full Podcast HERE:   https://youtu.be/ONAvdqyDfFM   What is National Death Doula Day? The day is set aside for Death Doulas to engage with their communities by bringing awareness to the profession and benefits for patients and families. An End-of-Life Doula is a non-medical person trained to care for someone holistically (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) at the end of life. End of Life Doulas are also known around the world as: Doulagivers, End of Life Coaches, Soul Midwives, Transition Guides, Death Coaches, Death Doulas, Doula to the Dying, Death Midwives, Thanadoula, and End of Life Guides. National Death Doula Day is a day where we recognize the positive impact these individuals can have during the end-of-life process.  This day was created to raise awareness about the profession of Death Doulas and how they can benefit patients and families at the end of life. Death Doulas provide the additional support that families need in order to feel comfortable with taking care of their dying loved one at home. They are non-medical professionals that provide holistic support for the dying and their loved ones before, during, and after death. Trained in the various end of life stages, a Doulagiver is able to assist the family with understanding the natural processes of death while providing comfort and support through these processes. This is the day where all Death Doulas can rise together and be a voice for social change for end of life care - ensuring everyone has the most positive passing possible. How should this day be celebrated or observed? On Death Doula Day we encourage the conversation about the profession of Death Doulas. This can be done anywhere, and in any way you feel comfortable. Have fun with it!    Post/Tweet/Market/Share, have a discussion panel, show a documentary, give a training, host a Death Café – anything to do with end of life.   Here are two articles you can share to your social media to help spread awareness!   HOSPICE TIMES ARTICLE   TIME MAGAZINE ARTICLE   End of life is a human experience -  not a medical one. With the right education, kindness, and support, end of life can be the sacred, positive experience it was meant to be.    In Love & Service,  Suzanne B. O'Brien RN    P.S. The FREE Doulagivers Level 1 End of Life Doula LIVE Webinar Training is TONIGHT at 7pm ET in honor of National Death Doula Day and Doulagivers World Training Day!    We invite you and anyone you would like to share this event with to attend and we cannot wait to see you there!    REGISTER HERE!

Today's guest on Speaking of Grief, is Shakara Arrazola-Tiscareno. Shakara will share information about her sacred work both as a Death Doula and a facilitator with the non-profit organization, Death Café.

There's only one thing in life that's certain: death. Many people believe that talking about death helps us make more of life. Thousands of Death Cafés have popped up in countries across the globe, challenging people to open up about the deceased and their own thoughts and fears about dying. Cafes are often over subscribed with organisers having to turn away individuals from sell out events. Julian Keane visits some of these Death Cafés to explore if a key part of life should be preparing for death. He explores how people across the world deal with death whilst they're living, and if there's really a need for the conversation. Julian also meets sociologist Bernard Crettaz. He began the concept of Café Mortel (Death Café) at an exhibition called La mort à vivre (Death for life) in his Geneva museum. Bernard shares more about his work, the theories behind his Death Café concept and how he feels knowing the world is embracing his concept.
