Welcome to Birth, Death, and Doulas! I'm so excited to publish this very first podcast episode. I'm Anne Kathryn Rice, founder of the Global Doula Project, a U.S. based nonprofit on a mission to transform how we experience birth and death by making doula support accessible and affordable to families around the world.
In this episode, I speak with end-of-life doula Sheila Burke of Cleveland, Ohio about her journey with her husband Shane, who was diagnosed with aggressive cancer.
We discuss the importance of doula support, the challenges of navigating the medical system, and the emotional complexities of grief and loss.
Sheila shares her experiences of hope and the lessons learned from Shane's passing, emphasizing the need for compassionate care and communication in end-of-life situations.
