I loved talking with Lori Rizzo on Alzheimer's Speaks this week. As an End of Life Doula, she shares how she supports family's work through their grief by helping them create new hellos while saying goodbye. Lori's passion for her work is contagious! Enjoy this conversation. I believe it will help take the scary out of the dying process while replacing it with dignity.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster, CCC the co-founders of The Caregiver's Journey for sharing their time and wisdom with us on Alzheimer's Speaks and Lori La Bey. Check out their new course and the various types of support they offer!
