Death is one of the hardest things caregivers face - and one of the least talked about. In this episode of Caregiver's Compass, we sit down with Christa Ovenell, a community educator, funeral director, and end-of-life doula, to talk openly about death, dying, and the conversations we avoid until we can't anymore. Christa shares how she helps families demystify death, dispel common misconceptions, and approach end-of-life planning with more compassion and clarity - and less fear.
