The Truth About Ageing

E45 - Dying at Home with End Of Life Doula Kim


Listen Later

Can I choose to die at home? Why might I want to die at home? What support is needed for me to die at home? Who needs to know my wishes? When do I need to communicate these wishes? What happens if things don't go to plan?

These are all questions you might have about the choice to die at home. As we discuss with Kim Somerville in todays episode, there are an increasing number of Australian's choosing to die at home. Whilst this decision requires a lot of support and consideration, families report huge satisfaction at being able to care for their loved one at home in their final days. 

If you wish to know more about supporting yourself or a loved one to die at home, you can contact Kim at www.kimsomerville.com.au, on Facebook @kimsomervilleendoflifedoula or on Instagram @kimsomerville.endoflifedoula
