End-of-Life Care - Creating Readiness and Peaceful Transitions with Stefanie Elkins
• 49 minStarting conversations about death and dying is not easy, but we know this is a fate each one of us will meet. In today's episode, I'm joined by the Family Caregiver Consultant, Aging Life Care Manager, End-of-Life Doula, and Founder, Stefanie Elkins. Stefanie founded Be Present Care, where she offers guidance and support for life transitions, and Death over Drafts, a community she built by combining her two passions, crafting beer and welcoming conversations around death and dying. Throughout this episode, Stefanie and I discuss the importance of encouraging end-of-life conversations. As we recognize why it is so hard to have them, Stefanie points out the multiple benefits of having a clear action plan before it is too late. You'll also hear Stefanie's thoughts on comfort care when curative care isn't an option, end-of-life planning, the beautiful story behind Death over Drafts, the importance of making final wishes known, and much more.
