Author and veterans advocate Doug Bradley at the bedside of his dying mother, Lucy.
Lucy Bradley lived long and well. And when, at 98, it became clear that her life was ending, her family wanted her to die well, too.
That’s where Elizabeth Humphries came in.
“I didn’t know what a death doula was,” Doug Bradley, Lucy’s son, told me recently.
But he knew Humphries from her work as a hospice nurse when the father of Doug’s wife, Pam Shannon, was dying. Humphries subsequently started Seasons of Life Madison, a senior home care and end-of-life agency. She’s now a certified end-of-life doula.
