In this episode of the Honestly Aging by Friends Life Care VigR® podcast, we talk with Lori Rizzo, an experienced End-of-Life Doula and Certified Dementia Practitioner. Lori, who runs Compassionate Crossings, provides emotional, physical, and spiritual support to individuals and families facing the end of life. Lori shares her deeply personal journey into the field, which began with her own experience caring for her mother and explains the role of an End-of-Life Doula in guiding individuals through this challenging phase.  

Through heartfelt conversation, Lori discusses the importance of legacy work, anticipatory grief, and how her holistic, non-medical approach provides peace and support to those facing death and their loved ones. Whether you're curious about end-of-life care, legacy planning, or simply seeking comfort in discussing this inevitable part of life, this episode offers insight, guidance, and inspiration.  

Tune in to learn more about how an End-of-Life Doula can transform the end-of-life experience into a meaningful, supported journey.
