The buddy system is the best part of this training. Barbara addresses the ongoing grief hospice caregivers face each day in a healthy and practical way!

The Final Act of Living
Hi Barbara, I just recently purchased a number of your resources and have been familiar with some from many years in Hospice. I am an RN who started in Hospice back in 1980 and have just recently gone Per Diem and become certified as an EOL Doula. I’ve started my own little Doula practice now called Hands for the Journey. Your Preface spoke directly to me. I am grateful for all you do!

Hi Nancy, in the '80 we were End of Life doulas, there just wasn't the words. Times have changed and hospice is different. We need both. Blessings in your new adventure. Barbara
Excellent Resource for Hospice Nurses
Barbara's insights on how compounded grief affects hospice workers is extremely valuable. Barbara also shares the importance of supporting each other. We will be implementing a "Buddy" support system in our nurse association. Thank you Barbara! Colleen Baker, RN President SFBA Hospice & Palliative Nurses Association
Helpful resources!
Have not had a chance to look over the new information but have used & shared Barbara Karnes' books before & know they are helpful.
Very Insightful
As an End Of Life Doula I can't wait to share the readings and video i have purchased from Barbara Karnes. She writes beautifully and compassionately about death and dying in her easy to read booklets. I have read them all and walked away with clarity and peace on the subject. Highly recommend her books and videos.
