Jody Gaynor, EOLD
Welcome.
Many years ago, as a new hospice volunteer, I realized the profound sacredness of one’s dying journey. Even while facing challenging and complicated circumstances, I saw grace, love, joy and wisdom abound from my patients. I am drawn to the mystery and vastness at the end of life. My personal experience of this journey with my loved ones has expanded my curiosity, and given me the confidence to embrace the beauty and joy in the dying process. This has guided me toward the opportunity of being an end of life doula.
