EP 95 - Jessica Spalo: Why You Need An End Of Life Doula Death is pretty taboo in our culture, to the point that when it does happen around us, we are often left not knowing what to do or what our options are. It turns out there are doulas who can help transition people into the world, and some doulas can help us transition out. Jessica Spalo is the founder and an end-of-life doula for Comfort in Crossing. She helps both those who are passing and their family by offering support in a multitude of ways. You would probably be surprised to find out what an end-of-life doula can all do and how they can help.
