Papí is Dying, and She Fears Saying the Wrong Thing

Though she was a primary caretaker, Sandra had a hard time knowing what to say to her dad at the end of his life. And Oceana Sawyer, a death doula, speaks with Juleyka about acknowledging death with dying loved ones, and taking care of ourselves as we care for them.

She draws upon her meditation practices, intensive study in the expressive arts and integral counseling, and more, to connect with folks as an End of Life Doula.
