Embracing the End: The Role of End-of-Life Doulas | S4E5

Host Frantzces Lys explores the profound impact of end-of-life doulas with two deeply personal stories involving the death of a family member.

First, David Duffin, a high school teacher, reflects on his experience working with a doula during his sister’s final days and how this support helped his family navigate the emotional complexities of end-of-life care. 

Next, Frantzces speaks with Dawn Walsh, a death educator and the inaugural executive director of Lily House, who shares how the loss of her mother inspired her journey into end-of-life care. Together, David and Dawn offer poignant insights into how doulas provide comfort, hope and acceptance during life's most challenging moments.
