About the topic: Focused on comfort, dignity, and presence at life’s end, this session highlights hospice care and death doulas, offering insight into the emotional, physical, and spiritual support available for individuals and their loved ones. What to expect:
- A compassionate overview of hospice care and death doula support
- Information on comfort-focused care, emotional support and presence
- Space for questions, reflection and respectful dialogue
About the series: This four-part series illuminates the full journey of care—from early support and planning through end-of-life and what follows. Presented by Tara Hubbird, the series is designed for individuals, families, and caregivers seeking clarity, confidence, and compassionate guidance.
Each session offers practical insights, real-world resources, and meaningful conversation to support informed decision-making at every stage. Whether planning ahead or navigating immediate needs, participants will gain tools, connections, and a deeper understanding of the care continuum—helping reduce overwhelm and foster a sense of preparedness and support.
