  1. For me, a road to death, that you're aware of, includes having personal dignity & being able to live out your last days/weeks/months/years with as much joy & comfort as possible. I don't believe that terminally ill people deserve lesser than humane, compassionate care. I believe in protecting their fragile conditions, supporting them(and some of their loved ones) on difficult days & helping them to plan their own end of life journey.

  2. On being a death doula: "sitting at the bedside with hospice patients inspires me to make the most of each moment in my own life and makes me more aware of my own mortality. Becoming a death doula has taught me about what to expect at the end of life and given me the opportunity to help others do the same."
