#134 In Their Honor: Veterans and the End of Life – Dr. Qwynn Galloway-Salazar


Listen Later

Dr. Qwynn Galloway-Salazar brings her experience as a veteran and spouse of a combat veteran straight into her work as a death doula and educator. She sees the value of a multi-layered approach, believing that:

1) we can best companion veterans who are dying by understanding their unique end-of-life needs;

2) we can better support the caregivers of veterans through education and practical resources; and

3) we can offer insights to the medical team that is supporting an individual, to help them understand the unique facets of a veteran's life experience and how those may play out at the end.

Qwynn and I dive into these questions and more, but at the heart of this conversation is the question: What would it look like to truly honor veterans as they come to the end of their lives?
