Best Life Best Death

Another tremendous thinker and writer on grief, Claire Bidwell Smith, LCPC. Check out BLBD #144, “Conscious Grieving: How Might We Engage and Transform Through Loss?”

Have you ever wondered what a “death doula” does? Doulas offer compassion, guidance, and information to help people better understand the end of life. This week, I talk with Vanessa Johnston, an active doula in Colorado, as she shares “a day in the life of a doula.” How do people find her? At what point do they typically reach out? Why do supportive colleagues matter so much? How does she structure her work and fees? And how does she — as a compassionate companion — recharge and care for herself while working so closely with death and dying?
