Orange County Library South Trail Branch 4600 S Orange Blossom Trl, Orlando, FL, United States

What the heck is a death doula? You'll have to attend this next event to find out!! (Or you could Google it, but wouldn't that ruin the fun?) For this next event, I've invited a few death doulas to meet the ODC and tell us about what they do, who they serve, and what makes a death doula unique in the world of deathcare. Once I can confirm which doulas are showing up, I will post a few days before the event. So, please RSVP, bring your questions, and let's have another good session!
