I have been a hospice nurse since 2008, but it was on a volunteer trip to Zimbabwe, Africa, that I was taught the true power of our presence as the best medicine there is.
I was reminded that death is not a medical experience- it's a human one.
And I was taught the effectiveness of having someone present and "holding the space" for someone who is dying- and for their loved ones- like a birthing doula.
I learned that no matter who you are and where you live in the world, death is our common unifier in our humanity- and we can change the world with presence, compassion and education.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
Topic #1 How a Volunteer Trip to Zimbabwe, Sparked a Global Death Doula Movement
