I'd love to hear from you! Send me a text message.

In this episode of Comforting Closure – Conversations with a Death Doula, Traci Arieli speaks with Robin Farr, Program Manager at the MAID Family Support Society in Canada. Together, they discuss Robin’s personal journey of supporting her father through Medical Assistance in Dying, and how that experience led her to help other families navigating this deeply emotional process. 

Key takeaways include what MAID looks like in Canada, how peer support can be a lifeline for loved ones before and after a medically assisted death, and why grief after MAID can be more complex than many realize. This conversation offers guidance, compassion, and hope for those walking this path—and those supporting them. 

This episode helps normalize difficult but necessary conversations around choice, death, and the emotional complexities that come with them.
