We continue the conversation about End of Life Doulas with Laurie Chapman of Companions for a Peaceful Passage in North Carolina.
If the concept of being an end of life doula has piqued your interest, Laurie, who has recently started this focused chapter of her life, shares some of her experience regarding her training and what qualities make a good end of life doula.
- Deep listening
- The pain that has been found to effect people more than physical pain when going through the dying process.
- Benefits to our culture and our life by being able to have conversations about death and dying with greater ease.
