As we close out Season 2 of our podcast, it seems fitting to talk about how endings, endings of all sizes, shape the human experience. Our guest today, Marcella Trowbridge, speaks about the most significant ending of all... the end of life.  She shares openly with Christy and Stephanie about her role as an end-of-life doula, also known as a death doula. While it's natural to fear our mortality, Marcella encourages us to think about our impermanence with intentionality, compassion, and an open heart. Thank you for listening.

Middletown Strong dedicates this episode to the members of our community who have left us too soon. We hold you and your families in our hearts. We will be forever grateful that you shared your light with us.
