Wondering what the activities/responsibilities of an #endoflifedoula, #deathdoula, #endoflifemidwife are? Marian Krawczyk, U of Glasgow professor created excellent graphic seen below:

"Roughly half of Americans who die each year now turn to hospice" Hospice Is a Profitable Business, but Nonprofits Mostly Do a Better Job @paula_span@nytimes https://t.co/Q0YMuhmq8y
In case no one told you today: You're beautiful. You're loved. You're needed. You're alive for a reason. You're stronger than you think. You're going to get through this. I'm glad you're alive. Don't give up.
