“Death is not a medical experience. It’s a human one.” That is a quote from Suzanne O’Brien, my guest for this Grief Refuge podcast episode.
If you haven’t met Suzanne O’Brien, you’ll be glad you listened to this podcast episode. Suzanne is the Founder of Doulagivers, an organization that trains people who care for other people at the end of their life. Suzanne is a very passionate person who is here to help make the dying process more graceful.
On this Grief Refuge podcast episode, Reid and Suzanne discuss many aspects of “bedside wisdom,” which are the qualities that help caregivers feel more aware, comfortable, and equipped to care for their dying loved ones.
The conversation naturally flows from death to grief, helping you to gain more “grief wisdom.”
I hope you enjoy the conversation and interview. Suzanne is filled with passion and sometimes just listening to someone like Suzanne is inspirational.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
