What a Death Doula Can Do for Your Family

A few months ago, we sat down with Kelly Briggs-Hayler, end-of-life doula and founder of Death Doula New York, for a written conversation about her work. That post resonated more than almost anything we've shared — so we invited Kelly back.

This time, she joined us live for a CuroNow Caregiver Circle session, and the conversation went even deeper. In this 27-minute session, we covered how to start end-of-life conversations without it feeling overwhelming, what families most often wish they'd talked about sooner, why advance directives are one of the greatest gifts you can give the people you love, what caregivers need most but almost never ask for, and how a death doula supports families not just through death, but after it.

Watch the full session above — and if you missed our first conversation with Kelly, you can find it here.
