@deathdoulakacie: Most people are never taught what dying actually looks like until they’re suddenly living it in real time. That’s part of why death doulas matter. We help educate, guide, support, advocate, and bring calm into moments that often feel overwhelming. Fear decreases when people understand what’s happening. Anxiety softens when families feel supported. Chaos lessens when nobody has to navigate it alone. #deathdoula #deathcare #endoflifecare #death #education
My husband of 44 years is eating a donut and half a corn dog a day. It’s what he wants. Maybe few sip of water. No longer calling people, no longer engaging in conversation, no longer staying awake, sleeping a lot and goes to bed at three in afternoon. He often ask me strange questions out of no where and I’m here. Trying to help him. I know. 🙏💕

College used to have Death and Dying classes, Thanatology. Should be required. Life cannot exist without death.

As long as there’s a smile on my face when I die I’m happy. Death is just a part of life. Trust in God no need to fear it .🙏🏽❤️

death education doesn't make it easy for me it's painful and doesn't reduce the fear no matter how you explain it or see it

I'm not pleased hospice nurse disclosed Info I told her in confidence to my oncologist doctor after I expressly forbid her from doing so.
now not use their services until absolutely necessary and then at home

No death education does not reduce the fear for everyone involved.. Maybe it did for you but for many of us that’s not the case. 🤷🏻♀️

Hospice is 24/7 to those family members who take responsibility to those who are terminally ill.

Like many others on here, I have lived this and it is absolutely accurate. Hospice is education, advice, sympathy and death doula all in one. Once we understood each other, everything they did in care of my mother when her Alzheimer’s was in end-of-life level helped us understand exactly the items mentioned here. Priceless IMHO.
