Conscious Conversations with Katie Augustyn, Mickey Nelson and Sue Broudy

What is an End of Life Doula? This is a question that Mickey Nelson and Sue Broudy answered during this very informative and interesting conversation.
After the separate experiences of sitting bedside for both his brother and mother-in-law while they transitioned, Mickey recognized that end of life doula work is his calling. He has completed extensive coursework with Doulagivers.com and recently graduated as a certified professional End of Life Doula.
Sue is also a Certified End of Life Doula, and was trained by a different organinzation, the International End of Life Doula Association. The two organizations have different approaches and perspectives. Learn how they differ and why that is a good thing.
As Mickey said, very few people prepare well for the one thing that all of us are going to do. He takes care of all the practical aspects and helps the family deal with everything. Find out about the "Five Wishes" pamphlet that we can use to express our end of life wishes, which can be ordered online.
As Sue talks about, in our culture no one wants to face death as a natural part of living. Their work can help us do that in a peaceful and caring way.
