The Good Death: A Guide for Supporting Your Loved One through the End of Life
The founder and CEO of Doulagivers Institute provides insight into what constitutes a “good death” and how we can help our loved ones through this monumental transition with empathy, patience, and peace of mind.
For most of us, there is no harder life experience than caring for a loved one who is dying. Suzanne O'Brien realized this earlier than most during her her time working as a nurse in hospice care, often offered as a comforting alternative to a sterile hospital environment. But Suzanne saw the real financial and staffing limitation that came with hospice, and, realizing this option didn't provide all the answers, wanted to take it a step further, providing her patients and their families with the tools to approach the death of a loved one with grace, dignity, knowledge, and compassion.
In 2012, Suzanne founded the Doulagivers Institute, which has since trained hundreds of thousands of doulas around the world. The Good Death will distill down the information of this course and all that Suzanne has learned during her decades in healthcare to provide the reader with a step-by-step guide to preparing for the future death of a loved one, and helping them through the actual passing when the time comes. This book will equip the reader with everything they need to know to prepare for a financial, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual good death - both for them, and for their loved one.
