In this episode, host Ellen Wong and guest Laura Miner (end-of-life doula and educator) discuss the importance of honoring individuals' end-of-life choices and the profound spiritual experiences associated with death. They talk about the challenges, emotions, and the spiritual component of end-of-life care, highlighting how these elements are incorporated into educational courses on death work, and conclude with reflections on the transformative nature of death and the celebration of life at its final stages.

What Matters in the End: 7-week course on death, dying and grief.

Laura pulled together what she learned over the last 20 years and created the training she wished she had. It's a 7-week live deep dive for finding peace of mind and navigating the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of end-of-life care.
