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

In this second part of Comforting Closure - Conversations with a Death Doula, Traci Arieli completes creating her own advance directive with the help of end-of-life specialist Maureen Kures. Joined by her husband, Oren, Traci defines her healthcare wishes, exploring values like maintaining dignity, mental clarity, and the importance of daily comforts. 

Maureen discusses topics like pain management, hospice options, and the significance of creating a thorough, personalized document to guide loved ones during critical times. Oren and Traci’s honest discussion about their fears, beliefs, and values gives listeners an intimate look at how advance directives empower families and create a legacy of love and understanding. 

Key takeaways from this episode include understanding the nuances of advance directive forms, choosing the right healthcare proxy, and making thoughtful decisions about quality of life.Links/Resources
