The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett by Annie Lyons • We don't talk enough about how growing up during & post WWII impacts our society today. The book explores complex questions surrounding death and dying in old age. It raises a thought-provoking scenario: a woman who, at 85, contemplates assisted dying despite finally finding love and support.
Just like birth doulas are compassionate professionals who support pregnant people, death doulas support terminally ill patients in their final days. Their role emphasizes the value of open communication about death, reminding us that while death is inevitable, it can be faced with comfort and peace.
