Description

 Death isn’t just a medical event — it’s a deeply human experience. In this episode, Jamie Callahan sits down with Angela Franklin, a death midwife (also called a death doula or end-of-life doula), to explore how she supports individuals and families through life’s final chapter with compassion, presence, and practical guidance.

They discuss:

• How death doulas complement — and go beyond — hospice and palliative care
• The emotional, spiritual, and logistical support they provide
• Creating a “death plan” and reducing fear at the end of life
• Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act and how families can navigate it
• Home funerals, burial options, and honoring personal wishes

Whether you’re facing a terminal illness, supporting a loved one, or simply want to understand your options, this conversation offers a new perspective on dying well and living fully until the end.
