Where do you start when consoling those who are going through grief? Most people don’t know where to start, so they stay away from that person.

In this episode, I am joined by Barbara Karnes, RN. An internationally recognized author, speaker, thought leader, and expert on end-of-life care and the dynamics of dying. Barbara was recognized in 2018 as a Hospice Innovator by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and was named the 2015 International Humanitarian Woman of the Year by the World Humanitarian Awards.

Throughout this episode, Barabara talks about why she chooses to write short booklets instead of long books. She also shares a few tips on how to console a friend who is grieving. Additionally, she’ll share the role our personality plays at the point of death.
