12 Things Death Doulas Do Before Death | Part 1

Most people think death doulas show up at the bedside. That's the smallest part of the work. The real work — the 12 things that change everything — happens before someone is actively dying. This is Part 1 of 3. What this video covers: End-of-life documentation (beyond just a will) The End-of-Life Binder: one place for everything families need Facilitating the hard conversations before crisis forces them Anticipatory grief — what it is and why you're not failing Navigating hospice, palliative care, and the healthcare system Setting an intentional environment for the final days Family meeting facilitation + values-based decision making Legacy and life review work Advocacy prep, death planning, and spiritual support This is what end-of-life support actually looks like - preparation, clarity, and connection, not chaos.
