There is no harder life experience than caring for a loved one who is dying. But with right tools we can help them approach this monumental transition with empathy, patience and peace of mind. Suzanne O'Brien realised earlier than most how hard it is to care for someone who is dying 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 the 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 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 spiritually good death - both for them, and for their loved one
