That's why I think you're seeing the pendulum swing back a little bit with these individuals who provide a professional service, but there's also a personal element to it as well- and not necessarily being confined by these very rigid rules and structures of health care delivery.
Death is often a topic we shy away from, but what if facing it head-on could actually help us live better? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Evan the Counselor LIVE', Evan sits down with Paula Epstein, an end-of-life doula who specializes in guiding families through the emotional and practical aspects of hospice care. Paula's work is all about providing holistic support to both patients and their loved ones, ensuring that everyone feels empowered to make their own end-of-life decisions.
She sheds light on common misconceptions about hospice care, breaking down the stigma and fear often associated with it. Paula also introduces listeners to the concept of a 'death-positive' approach, suggesting that accepting mortality can lead to a more fulfilling life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of end-of-life care, and it will leave you with a renewed appreciation for the power of empathy and compassion.
Whether you're supporting a loved one or just curious about what it means to live fully until the end, Paula's insights are both enlightening and comforting.
