What’s a Death Doula? Tracey Walker Tells All

In this episode of Life/Death/Law, Tracey Walker, the founder of Let It Be End of Life Planning and the Program Director for End of Life Doula Training at Going with Grace, talks with me about what Death Doulas do, why they can be helpful in offering non-medical support to people facing death and their families in all kinds of ways, how to find a Death Doula if you or a loved needs support. She also discusses how Death Doulas work with other care providers, like Hospice. You will also learn about queer end of life assistance, doula work for pet loss, and, if you listen very carefully, you will hear my dog, Tater, barking in the background.
